What's scarier, being absolutely broke or regretting never taking a chance to have a piece of video game history? An auction for Akira Yamaoka's guitar and FX amps, which were used to create the audio atmosphere for a little franchise called Silent Hill, is currently underway on eBay (and will last for five days).

The auction is part of Play for Japan, a coordinated effort to present consumers and gamers with means to help the relief effort in Japan. If you partake, you'll not only feel good about donating money to Japan, but you'll possibly give this guitar a new home and outlook on life, one filled with joy, sunshine and family -- not giant death bunnies and other unspeakable horrors.

We always suspected we had nothing in common with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer Climax. We crave Coke, they prefer Pepsi. We swoon for Daniel Craig, they say George Lazenby is the best. We say tomato, they say ... well, that one works better when you say it out loud. Finally, though, we've found something we agree on: We both want them to make another Silent Hill game. Speaking with the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine, lead designer Sam Barlow said, "For us we felt we've put our stamp on the series with Shattered Memories so we'd love the opportunity to do another one. So everybody go and buy it!" He's absolutely right, you should do that this moment. ... Hey! That's more common ground already. [Via Nintendo Everything]

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories I mocked this "re-imagining" of Silent Hill when it was first announced. I thought Harry Mason had become an older, life-hewn Harry Potter and considered the town's frosty makeover as nothing short of sacrilege. But an encounter with the game at E3 2009 (and with candid producer Tomm Hulett) quickly changed my mind. While the game departs significantly from the franchise's known lore, it retains and streamlines much of what made Silent Hill stand out against games like Resident Evil. Encased in the game's frigid atmosphere, you'll experience a sense of bewilderment that, if you've been playing these games for a long time, you will not have felt in years. Indeed, the best surprises prey on those of us who think we know everything about Silent Hill.

I've watched horror movies before

I've played Resident Evils 2 & 4

I've seen Giygas(many times)

 

I've suffered re-occuring nightmares for 2 years.(because of watching a paranormal show and I ain't talking about Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures,etc. I'm talking about "A Haunting".)(and don't worry, the nightmares are gone)and for some reason...I was forced to stay up late everynight until 1:00 AM for some reason until the nightmares went away..(for some reason, if it was 1:00 AM, the nightmares couldn't harm me..)

I enjoy the Halloween movie series(original movies, refuse to watch Halloween III)

I'm worried this game might contain Satanatism(heard you can find pentagrams in one of the Silent Hill games..)

I'm getting ready to watch Jacob's Ladder(when Netflix sends it..)

I've seen screamers before..

I've played the Scary Maze game(barely scared me.)

I've suffered various childhood trauma(birthmother neglected me when I was a infant..,she tryed to take me back.. and afterwards, I couldn't talk again until I was 3..,saw my first piece of pornography at 5(by accident..), one of my ears was accidently cut off when I was at a hair salon once...(when I was I guess...2),and then nightmare stuff I mentioned above,saw The Shining when I was 12(the rotting old lady scared me and scarred me for life...I'll never look at old women naked..),I looked when in my gecko's cage(happened recently, may not count as childhood trauma, but it's still trauma.)once and there was a rotting cricket carcass with maggots eating it...(Don't worry my gecko's fine.),I saw 2 of the Resident Evil movies when I was 12..)

I can take listening to supense music..

Will I be ready for Silent Hill?

It's rated M, so no. Same reason you shouldn't watch rated R movies when you are 12.

Good god man, it's a video game. Nothing to go batshit or be scarred from.

The "reimagined" first installment of Silent Hill is set to shatter memories in Europe on February 5, 2010. Konami confirmed the survival-horror title will release on Wii, PS2 and PSP on the appointed date. For those who can't wait, there's always an early Homecoming in anticipation for that return to the cursed town. Reviews of the game have been what Metacritic defines as "generally favorable," with a 76 average. Our own review took the approach that the game is good, but is it still Silent Hill with all the changes?

I'm a big fan of Silent Hill. I've played every game in the series and a few years ago you might even have caught me defending the Silent Hill movie. When I first heard that Climax was re-imagining the first game in the Silent Hill series, and putting it on the Wii, I was a bit nervous. When the company revealed the logo and announced that the rust laden, nightmarish Otherworld was being brushed aside for an ice world, I was downright scared. After gathering some more info and trying the game at E3, all fears were assuaged. This was to be the great white (black?) hope of the Silent Hill series. Having spent two evenings with the game and completing the story for the first time, I'm conflicted. Was it good? Yes. I'm just not sure it's Silent Hill.

While playing through Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for review, our very own Richard Mitchell stumbled upon a pretty neat thing: classic Konami coin-op arcade cabinets. Sadly, you can't play the cabinets in-game, but it's a nice Easter egg for fans, if we may say so. There's Contra, Rush'N Attack and -- our personal favorite -- Gradius. Check 'em out in the video above.
