Scare fest in your hands


Silent Hill: Origins is the hand held game that I'm currently playing. This game fits the month of October perfectly, considering it is one of the scariest game series that has ever been made. (Click on the link to get additional information on GameSpot's website)

Silent Hill: Origins is a horror game that takes place in the fog filled town of Silent Hill. You play as Travis Grady, who is a truck driver with some unknown connection to the town.

The game begins with Grady driving past the town on a stormy night and out of nowhere a girl runs into the middle of the road. Grady narrowly misses the girl but sets out in search of why she was there and if she is truly unharmed. As he begins his search for answers, you gain control of the character and begin your nightmare. The game is filled with eerie music and sound effects, grotesque monsters and scenery and weird camera angles. The game has two worlds the normal present day world and the evil cursed world that is filled with unimaginable horrors.

A hand held console is a game system that has a screen and controls in a console that is small enough to fit in your hands. There are only two names that people discuss in the gaming industry, when it comes to hand held consoles and they are Nintendo DS (click on the link to get additional information on Nintendo's website) and Sony PlayStation Portable (Click on the link to get additional information on PlayStation's website).
