@karnage27 Have you ever played Aliens vs Predator 2 (2001) on the PC? Or the recent AVP game from a few years ago? They were pretty great.

@failboater Read my comment to TheZeroPercent :)

@TheZeroPercent The Xbox 360 (made by Microsoft no less) and PS3 are equal to a high end to mid range gaming PC like an Alienware or Falcon Mach Northwest but much cheaper. Both consoles can run, without needing to upgrade a graphics card, add more ram or upgrade your CPU, the same games that are on the PC: Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion, Skyrim, GTA IV, GTA V (soon) Aliens Colonial Marines, Metro 2033, CoD MW2, Rage, Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Hitman, X Com, Tomb Raider, AC, etc the list goes on...

Great review, I'm sick of being screwed over by billion dollar companies that think just b/c they have had some great success's that we will fork over anything for well.... anything they put out! Also what's a niggle?

Nice article. Also on yahoo news in an article I saw they got the name Revelations wrong on the box cover to this RE game. In other words a typo lol. A collectors item for some.

@brunorr I agree with you and SciFiCat. Also again thanks for the info and link!

@SciFiCat you and brunorr are right! I completely forgot about Jacobs Ladder but did post it on the SH facebook fanpage in the past. It did in fact inspire the Silent Hill series besides David Lynch's work of course. Creep movie! Thanks for the link btw. Also someone added a tornado siren to the movie Jacobs Ladder from a Silent Hill game on youtube which, if memory serves correct, was not in the original movie.

Silent Hill was indeed inspired by David Lynch and Eraserhead. Just look at this video here on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrl3n2ZtK2E I posted this on the Silent Hill official fanpage on facebook and they actually liked it!

I first played Silent Hill on my PC a year ago and it was pretty scary. Even more so then RE. I look forward to playing SH 2 and 3 on my PS2 then the HD collection on my Xbox 360 when I can buy it used. Also the music and creepiness are inspired by the movie Eraserhead by David Lynch who also directed and wrote Twin Peaks as well as some creepy music videos on youtube.

Great article! Some people who have commented so far have some good points (and not so good points as well) Gaming was in it's infancy during the Atari and NES era's I would say but quicky evolved during the mid to late 1990's and even now perhaps. I'm glad that we have books, some movies and mainly Emulators and ROM's to perserve gaming history and information. At least to a certain extent anyway. Museum's are also a good idea as long as they are non profit.
