14 DAY TRIAL // Hurray for Konami and their long-running horror-survival series! It seems that the latest installment in this series, Silent Hill Origins, will be ported to the PS2 after being a major hit on the PSP. Would believe if I told you that Origins is the reason for me buying the handheld console in the first place? The game ruled, although I have two things to comment upon it: it's way too short and it has too many locked rooms for my liking. In case you're playing the PSP game right now here's a list of helpful codes and a review HERE.
In case you're wondering what's up with the March release date, it was spotted up on Amazon, so we can only believe the site, for now. According to a couple of rumors, Climax, the developing team who worked wonders with the first version of Origins, will be taking up the PS2 version as well. In the meantime, we remind you that Silent Hill V is in the works for the PS3 and Xbox 360, promising to take the horror-survival experience to the next level.
For those of you who didn't even know that there was a PSP Silent Hill, this game will surely eat enough hours of your life to become a hobby. It serves as a prequel for the original PlayStation (One) game and pretty much explains the story of the Silent Hill movie, clarifying all the mysteries. What impressed me the most in Origins, were its graphics, the vast amount of weapons I could use and the quality of the AI. I admit that it was frustrating to get killed each time I reached a new landmark, but that's life and gaming, so you'd better start training and replaying past SH titles, since this baby's coming to the PS2! I'm curios if we'll see other similar ports in the future, not from Konami, but from Capcom, who haven't delivered a PSP Resident Evil title, so far, if I'm not mistaking.
