WACO, Texas (KWTX) –

Welcome my friends to the scariest time of the year. No not Halloween! Something far more sinister and menacing. Like an ever-watchful darkness looming over your shoulder waiting. Patiently until one day when it GETS YOU! Thats right! It’s the most horrifying thing of all! The Fall game release onslaught. I’m Andrew Hamilton and it’s time to gather around the campfire as I spin you a tale of hills that make no noise and omni-directional diving action heroes in the October Edition of The Download.

Silent Hill 2:

Back before we had a million horror games a year, gamers had only a few solid options to pick from. Resident Evil and Silent Hill were the two best, but while Resident Evil would go on to find a new undead life, Silent Hill basically fell off the face of the planet for like 9 years. Now, 23 years after the original, players can finally return to the world of Silent Hill…2. Developer Bloober team is taking on the daunting task of remaking and modernizing one of the very first cult classics in gaming. Just like the original game, players will follow James Sunderland, a widower, as he returns to the eponymous town of Silent Hill upon receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, who claims to be waiting there for him. Unravel the truth with updated gameplay mechanics, new twists on the combat and a gorgeously redone soundtrack. Step into the fog when Silent Hill 2 Remake comes out October 2nd for PlayStation 5 and PC.
