Giant Bomb: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Review

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:24:29 GMT

Giant Bomb writes: "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is that rare game that uses the unique aspects of the Wii so well, you immediately feel like its quality would be lessened on a more traditional platform. (It's a shame all Wii games aren't that way, but, let's face it, they aren't.) The game uses motion controls and the Wii remote's speaker to draw you into its mysterious, unsettling world more effectively than you might expect. But as good as the Wii integration is, it's the nuanced storyline and chilling atmosphere that will really stick with you. Despite a little repetition in the game's progression, this is one experience you aren't likely to forget soon."

There have been many calls recently on the timing of the next generation of consoles for all systems. Gamers have had good reason to expect a new generation as the standard timeline for a console lifespan has already exceeded itself going into 2010 for the Xbox360, with the PS3 and Wii lagging behind by just a few months. This week Japanese technology insider Hiroshige Goto reiterated a claim that "next generation timeframe is around 2012 (2011 being difficult and possibly as late as 2013) with the Wii HD being seen as the exception." The newest generation of portable devices will be the next generation of gaming to come before the next generation of consoles.
Goto also says "Sony was looking into using an updated SPU design in the core of the PS4, and recently has heard of other plans.....
