You read that right.  It&#8217;s a shooter, set in the <a href = \"?p=600000\">Silent Hill<\/a> universe, with lots of fog and film grain.  And zombies.  That&#8217;s like Silent Hill, right?

It even has Pyramid Head, whom you can apparently shoot, despite his blatant invulnerability to guns in <a href = \"?p=2800000\">Silent Hill 2<\/a>.  But hey, it&#8217;s got the Silent Hill logo on it, so it must be great, right guys?<\/p>\n<p>Making a shooter out of a horror game is probably pretty tough.  I&#8217;ve not really been impressed with the Resident Evil Gaiden \/ <a href = \"?p=5300000\">Dead Aim<\/a> series (though I should play both more to be fair).  But for a game like Silent Hill, where shooting is infrequent and often actively discouraged, this kind of thing seems like quite a stretch.  Though it is clearly an attempt to cash in on a popular license, I suppose I&#8217;m not as irked by this game as I could be: the arcade scene is a really tough market, and I can actually see that arcade games might not even be made unless they are insulated by some brand or license.  Still, this looks pretty terrible.  Maybe next time I am in Japan I can try it out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sorry, I can&#8217;t not post this.
