#144 – Rock Band 2 (PS3)
I bought Rock Band 2 just to see how good it was compared to the Guitar Hero series. Well at first I couldn’t play Rock Band 2 because it constantly kept reminding me to connect a microphone. I went on to buy the whole set for RB2 (The drums, guitar, microphone) and that’s when I saw how different this was from the GH series (Not all that different but quite so in a few ways). Screw karaoke! I have a Rock freaking Band at home ^_^
#143 – Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
Every wonder how a SH game at its prime was like? The later installments of the SH series; Origins, SH4: The Room, Homecoming, and Shattered Memories DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE to the original trilogy. SH3 is probably the SCARIEST game I’ve ever played. I had to quit playing this game when I was about 16 because it just frightened me and made me uneasy. I couldn’t take a step further because it was that scary. I played and finished the game years later after gaining so much experience (with scary stuff) watching numerous horror movies. Was it still scary? Yep it still was. The game has this unspeakable tension filled atmosphere which just makes you reluctant to take the next step further. And to top that off, SH3 has some of the most heart stopping scares from the series (Which is a LOT).
Apart from the scare factor, SH3 retains the aura from its previous two predecessors. Although the story of SH3 doesn’t even compare to SH2’s or even SH1’s it isn’t nowhere near as bad as Homecoming or Origins. SH3 also feels more of a survival/horror than any of the SH games before it. Team Silent’s presence is definitely felt here ^_^.
