The new Xcom game – a classic PC turn-based strategy franchise – was announced to be a First Person Shooter. While details are scant, the change has resulted in many people being pretty irate. That may happen again, as rumour has it classic Konami survival horror franchise might be turned on its head. Last Updated: April 22, 2010

While rattling through my archive of articles for Play Tech Magazine in search of samples to secure some freelance work, I came across our woefully unpublished Alone in the Dark: Inferno review for the PS3. It was meant to go into the February issue, and the highlight of the article was a little in-depth comparison we did between the original …

We reported a few days back that Silent Hill: Homecoming had been delayed until the 20th of March. Well the game was supposed to be released on Friday and if you were planning on getting the PS3 or PC version then you are in luck as those versions have not been delayed and are available to purchase from your local …

Now don’t shoot the messenger please, this is yet to be confirmed but according to a Twitter posting by am_nesia from Kalahari.net the local release of Silent Hill: Homecoming has slipped and is now only expected to land on the 20th of March 2009. It’s not a major slip and since the game was released in the US last year …

This week is entertaining but I have to say I found the ending video a lot funnier than the ZP for once… The complete insansity of it all just does it for me… As always remember that Yahtzee has a filthy mouth and this shouldn’t be played in an office that frowns upon such things..

Taking a look at the Metacritic scores for the two big survival horror releases this quarter, it is undoubtedly obvious that the Silent Hill franchise is in a spot of trouble. While hardcore fans of the series still linger on the good old days of Silent Hill 2, they are now left with very little to quench their thirst for another Silent Hill title that could match its quality. Enter Dead Space. While I have personally only seen small amounts of footage from this game and pretty much know very little about its story and gameplay mechanics, it is fantastic to see that there is a new cowboy in town that is willing to take on the the big boys at their own game. A quick glance at the scores on Metacritic reveal that Dead Space has raked in a current average of 88/100, while the new Silent Hill title, Homecoming , has only mustered up a measly, yet relatively decent 73/100. Has the Silent Hill franchise seen its glory days come and go already? With strong titles like Dead Space joining the fray and the remarkable looking Resident Evil 5 coming next year, one must wonder if Silent Hill will ever be able to pull itself back out of the deep hole that it has been digging for quite some time now. Could Homecoming be the last Silent Hill title that we will ever see?
