Continue to fear the Wiification!

Maybe this never happened
Even more Wii-horror announcements! There’s a new Resident Evil Railshooter coming up, called Darkside Chronicles (Calendar Updated). The first game was alright, had some great fun with it, but it lacked the athmosphere. I did like the beautiful locations, although the RE:Outbreak scenery looked a bit stiff. Really wished they fleshed out the final scenario better (The russian snow one).
Then there’s a supposed remake of Silent Hill coming out. Now, fans have been waiting for this thing for a long time. But will it capture the magic of the original? My heart says no. Sure it will be great as evidenced by the other recent SHs, but beyond it’s choppy graphics Silent Hill was perfect. Hopefully, they’ll do it the REmake-way and not the Twin Snakes-way.
So this means that the most horror games are coming to the Wii now. Dead Rising: CtyD,
What?! There's a singleplayer-mode too?
RE:DC, SH(remake), LIT, Cursed Mountain, DS:E! Not to mention the House of the Dead games recently released (haven’t had a chance to check them out yet). Total inversion of the GameCube situation. I salute Nintendo for doing so well, but really wished developers would realize that tacked on Motion Control isn’t innovation. Fear the Wiification.
Lately, I’ve been playing Gears of War 2 (Horde Mode) and Left 4 Dead online. Something beautiful happens when pure survival depends on keeping your teammates alive. It’s something I’ll be writing about soon. Currently having some trouble formatting the defining moments, so SH isn’t accessible from that page right now. I’ll fix it and get a new one up soon.
