WHY?!?

When North America finally gets to enjoy what I hope will be the first really good movie based on a video game, that is…

Silent Hill, one of the most twisted, profoundly disturbing experiences in the history of gaming… And Singapore doesn’t get it till FREAKIN’ JUNE?!?

I’ve always thought this was an amazing game. It was one of those cathartic moments in gaming where I suddenly realized that gaming was going somewhere. It was also one of the first video games to really scare the hell out of me and make wary of going to bed, and in a strange sort of way, it was one of these weird elements that helped bring me and the Wife together since up until that point, she’d thought that video games were stupid, pointless exercises in reflexes with nothing really going on, and I said, “Oh, man, you’ve never played Silent Hill,” and when I played through it with her, she got hooked.

Oh well… I guess when I DO finally get to see it, there will be a lengthy rant on her about the virtues/vices of the movie as both a movie and a crossover of a game series I am intimately familiar with and ferociously protective of…
