Silent Hill Origins: PALGN Review (7.0)

After Silent Hill 4's rather dismal reception in 2004, one cannot blame Konami for attempting to take Silent Hill back to its roots with the latest entry in the series; Silent Hill: Origins. The first game to appear on the PSP in the Silent Hill series also happens to mark the first time that the game has not been developed by one of Konami's internal development teams, with veteran UK developer Climax taking over. Origins is meant to serve as a starting point for the series, shedding light on the events of the first game and the mysteries surrounding the town of Silent Hill.
