It's been a long time since I last played an original Silent Hill game and I found my perfect chance when I found it in a second-hand store, so I bought the game with the last remaining pounds I had stuffed in my pockets and took the closest bus home. Now I bet you're wondering what this has to do with the title of this post?
Well, as I slipped the disc into my slowly aging ps2 and selected my way through the menu, I was hit with an intro scene of "James Sunderland" staring into a lake, I was hit with many memories as I had previously played this game before selling it many years ago. As the cutscene met it's end, I met the beginning of a long journey and every journey needs good music, and Silent Hill was perfect at providing such tone and sound to its games, this was mainly due to the sound artist, "Akira Yamaoka" who has been providing his expertise to Konami for almost every Silent Hill which has currently been released, but as you all know, he recently left Konami for something different and to someone like me, the eerie music of Silent Hill was one of it's main attractions to the public so where will the series go, if anymore are to be made? Is there really anyone who could exceed Akira? these questions are all that pop into my head as I replay Silent Hill 2, lets just hope they get someone good for the next game.
P.S. Is it me or are these posts getting later and later? hopefully I will be able to sort this out when I can persuade the rest of the team to post something and to post more myself.
