Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (PSP)

Silent Hill : Shattered Memories is the seventh video game in the Silent Hill series. It is a reimagining of the first game in the franchise.

The game was first released in December of 2009 for the Wii in North America. The PS2and PSP versions were released in North America on January 19, 2010, while the European/ Australian releases for the three platforms will be in March 4, 2010 and the Japanese releases for the Wii and PSP versions will be in March 25, 2010. It is the second game in the Silent Hill franchise to be released on a Nintendo brand console. The first title was Play Novel: Silent Hill on the Game Boy Advance, released in Japan only.

From the moment you turn on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and are informed that the game "plays you as much as you play it," it's evident that you're in for something quite different. Indeed, this is not the silent Hill you may have come to expect. The fog, rust, and awkward combat of the past have been replaced by snow, ice, and lots of terrified running. Developer Climax Studios has reinvented the aging franchise for the better by removing the tedium, as well as going back to the basics of strong, psychological storytelling and an intense, chilling atmosphere. Regardless of how you feel about previous Silent Hill games, Shattered Memories is a fresh and welcome new beginning that's good for a scare.
