Well I'm Alone There Now...... In Our Special Place

 I knew I was going to make a post about this eventually. This is probably one of the hugest and most weirdest parts of my childhood that i grew up to love.  It was the genius
 story lines that  got my attention the most about this game. The emotions,
the thought of losing someone in a town where strange happenings took place really grabbed my attention and the twisted riddles and graphic scenes left me glued to my computer screen since I was around the age of 7. Personally, I wouldn't say that each game that Konami developed got better and better, but their ideas of introducing new monsters, new storylines and characters really added to dark and eery atmosphere they wanted to pull off. 
I would also like to mention in this post that the departure of Akira Yamoaka, one of the videogame soundtrack composers, and in my eyes, one of the most inspirational soundtrack writers, has really put a downside on my thoughts of Silent Hill.
And especially as I am getting the new game which is out in October, I don't feel like the atmosphere and the weird sounds (which did give me the shivers) will ever be as good as the old games. 
On a more positive note, the graphics  of the new game Silent Hill :Downpour, has improved tremendously since the Homecoming game and the graphics seem so realistic, that I even mistook the intro for the trailer as an upcoming movie!
