I'd say that's pretty good

How does Pyramid Head take damage and get defeated? I'm not familiar enough with him.

James technically just uses conventional means, but as PH is more a symbolic entity James could only defeat him by confronting his guilt.

Could Donkey Kong carry the sins of his grandfather with him?

Go!

No but I do miss doing it. At least I can see fireworks practically all night from my window.

Don't read as many comics as I used to but Human Target is golden.

Yes, he's one of my favorite ME villains and I wish he was in all 3 games.

In retrospect it is funny how Climax basically took the role of the "town as therapist" to its most logical extreme though.

6.5/10

About as good a Silent Hill story as you can get post-SH4. The decision to reimagine the original Silent Hill is a contentious one. While at times SM unfolds as if someone only read the Wikipedia plot summary of the original, its frame narrative plays it close-to-the-chest for some surprisingly enjoyable twists & thrills, even if these thrills do turn Silent Hill more into a gimmick roller coaster ride rather than standing on its own merits in the formerly well-textured worlds of Team Silent's works. Characters are turned more into clichs or props here than well-realized people - for example, each of Harry's endings portray him as an "insert sin here" type - alcoholism, adultery - boiling Harry down to one-line personality words. Cybil is treated similarly, with her appearance changing based on your answers but not really affecting much else. Something I will praise a lot more is the exploration elements - the Echo Photos, the Phone Numbers, the Mementos. Finding these ended up being the most compelling part of the story, as they ended up enriching the story SM was trying to get at and were interesting bite-sized chunks of the people and items that make up the larger world of Silent Hill. Even though Shattered Memories is a skin-deep affair, its "PSYCHOLOGICAL WARNING" and end-game twist at least warrant one full playthrough. The game's sleight-of-hand can trick you long enough into thinking that something interesting is actually happening at least. It was good enough that Until Dawn cribbed its psychologist set-up!

oh, i didn't know about this. that's interesting.

i'm not quite sure i like the hook of this one but i may give it a shot. Telling Lies was sort of underwhelming in the mystery aspect, it didn't use the format very well imo.

Yeah I agree that TL wasn't as well done as Her Story but I still liked it. I'm looking forward to Immortality the most of them all though because I really enjoy lost media and this is looking to capture that hunt perfectly.

Really excited for Stray, Dreadout, and Sam Barlow's new game Immortality.

Agh not Gabriel Knight! Damn

9/10

Wonder Boy is definitely head-hurting.

Hms to Clock Tower, Legacy of Kain, and Shinobi.

Meh winner, insanely fun contest! Thanks for hosting Suprak!

That was great, kind of has a similar vibe to Charlie Brooker's Wipe series.

I will always be a Vergil-preferred player ever since DMC3.

So fantastic, the combat mechanics are out of this world.

I thought it was the season finale too but I'm so glad it's not!

@Snake5555555555 sorry, trading buddy, but as I am now backing Mr. Murdock I cannot keep our trade going. Thanks for all the saves along the way!

Yup, it was a great partnership! And I'm in on Daredevil all the way too now!

Haha yeah, a TRUE 3rd one, not just the leftover dregs! (I've never bothered to watch 2.5, I'm kind of considering it for completionist sake but maybe sometime down the line lol)

This was definitely a fun side-project and it was actually nice revisiting both of these after reviling them totally when they first came out. I had completely forgotten how good some of these shorts actually were and had written them off as pure garbage just due to how dreadful others were. Either way I have a new-found appreciation for these - I think I even wouldn't totally mind if they made a 3rd now. Thanks for hosting Johnbobb!
