The West is Up For One Wild Ride

The next "Red Dead Redemption: Gameplay series" Video has finally been released and if you're jaw hadn't already dropped to the floor then get ready to pick it up as the viewers were given just a small taster as to what the world of "free roam West" is ready to give us.

Now I dont know if you guys agree with me or not, but the idea of hunting down outlaws, animals and other players with a posse of you're own seems like a rather interesting idea. And being the offline man that I am, it feels strange to say this but I believe this is one multiplayer that I won't tire of playing, it seems crazy, fun and completely outside of the box in terms of ideas and concepts and that is yet another reason added to the pile which fuels my anticipation for this game.

Also in the news, a spot of good luck/karma (whichever you prefer) has finally hit the Sony PSN store as the "Flower" soundtrack landed within it's virtual shelves however, the EU store has once again found difficulties uploading this product but no worries as Sony has confirmed that this will soon be fixed if not already done and up on the store, so dont hold back PS3 owners, buy the soundtrack and if you somehow dont have the game then buy it now, its cheap and well worth the money.

Has Silent Hill got lost in the fog?

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.
