When I got my copy, I only "allowed" myself to play it after midnight (alone in the dark)! It really is genuinely scary/freaky in places. IMO Silent Hill is a landmark game - almost "arthouse" in its surreal horror-movie feel and sedate pace. It also has the most amazing intro FMV sequence (& music) which I must have watched about 100 times. I'd say it's one of the more "mature" and "intelligent" games released in the last year - more so than Final Fantasy, Half-Life and MGS, anyway. Certainly makes a change from driving / shooting (or both) games, anyway :) Nick F PS Ignore the monkfish remark - Bob's just reliving his favourite fantasy... ------------- www.saqnet.co.uk/users/nickf www.loonygames.com www.netyaroze-europe.com/~rookie1 "Hot crumpet burning my cheeks with shame..."
