Silent Hill 3

You're not here

Blue sky to forever,
The green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be much better a sight with you, with me,
If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along,

So now what should I do, I'm strung out, addicted to you,
My body it aches, now that you're gone,
My supply fell through,

You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
You craved my happiness,
When you make me feel joy it makes you smile,
But now I feel your stress,
Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no
And who has time for tears,
Never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love,
'till now.

Oh man how much am I looking forward to this game! Every little tidbit I catch about it makes me even more excited about it. And all the better that the music is going to sound just as good, if not better than the past Silent Hill games. The music, as with every aspect of sound in those two games, has always been a huge part of the game experience. Even when there is no music, the silence its self is an actor in the game play, making you all the more aware of how frightened you really are.

This game series has been the only thing other than Resident Evil and Animal Crossing to really get my blood pumping about playing a game since.. hell, Final Fantasy VII. And this is the only game series since Resident Evil (the first one) that has scared the shit out of me. Silent Hill had me so scared I could barely sleep after playing, from empty lockers filled with blood, falling bodies, and giant cat/lizard beasts, to small girls vanishing into the mist and snow. Silent Hill two, while not quite as big on the "OMG FUCK!" scare factor, definatly had a very powerful psycological edge to it with the delving through layers of the protagonists false reality into the truth, how ever horrible it really was.

I can only hope that Silent Hill 3, with the first female protagonist of the series, can combine the best elements of Silent Hill 1 and 2 and once again scare the living hell out of me.
