People can take away a variety of values and ideals from these games, as they have the propensity to mean a bunch of different things to different people. But one common theme remains certain: no matter how we navigate our lives and which paths we choose to take, we must not forget that those choices and actions always have consequences.
What resulted was the psychological counterpart to the survival horror that Resident Evil helped solidify. With Resident Evil leaning more toward action-horror, I found my preference in Silent Hill, as it chose to focus on the more subtle, inward forms of horror and terror.
Being as the anniversary of the release of the first Silent Hill game is approaching, I thought it was high time to share some thoughts and rankings of the games in the series. Stemming from this genre, the game further delves into multiple subgenres, including body horror, family horror, and personal horror — when repressed memories and actions are illuminated, and our dark halves are turned inside out.
The thematic material, the darkly tragic stories, and the opportunity for introspection that the series has to offer make this collection of media some of the most profound and emotional pieces of narrative that I have found in any medium.
That said, the game had some decently frightening moments, and Travis the protagonist has arguably one of the most messed up backstories of the franchise. Shattered Memories serves as a loose remake some call it a re-imagining of the first game. I was a bit skeptical of this one, as it was made for the Wii console honestly, how good could a survival horror for the Wii actually be?
Shattered Memories takes the series in a drastic different direction control-wise and concept-wise; part of the game has you playing Harry Mason as he searches for his daughter, but it also has you engage in a therapy session with a psychologist. This game and its thematic implications bothered and stuck with me for a long time after I played it, truly making fear personal. I would say Downpour is the most expansive of them all, and relies the heaviest on exploration. The biggest downside to Downpour was its monster design; the series is known for its menacing and symbolic monsters, but in this game…the monsters save for the main boss and the mannequins were very blah.
Aside from that, this game was solid. The plot was well-executed, the characters were well-written, and the puzzles were among the best. Homecoming is, by a large amount of Silent Hill fans, considered to be the worst game in the series.
Okay, so yes it is more action-based than any other, and yes, it does kind of feel like Saw 3 had a love child with Hostel, but I actually really enjoyed playing it. Oh yea, and in her second phase she turns into a spider. The original game is so bizarre and off-putting, one really does feel like they are in an alternate reality while playing. As Harry Mason, an average, run-of-the-mill dad, you have to search for your missing daughter after a car crash — in the town of Silent Hill.
There were times when I was playing that I was literally frozen with fear, unable to carry on. It is a living nightmare-scape where you have no choice but to move onward literally, by playing. If you are interested in beginning your foray into survival horror and want to understand how this specific genre came to be, this game is an absolute must.
Definitely the most abstract of the games, SH4 was largely experimental, a chance for Team Silent to try new things. Consequently, this has led it to be the most polarizing entry in the series: you will either really like it, or really, really hate it. All you know is something very bad is happening, your apartment that you thought was a safe haven is slowly becoming haunted, and you have the unkillable ghost of a serial killer chasing you.

A ground-based search crew, operating under landowner permission, was able to locate the carcass. This animal was heavily scavenged therefore a determination of cause of death may not be possible. On July 7, , the Service was notified of an orange-collared canid, dead by the side of the road.
The evidence again suggests a vehicle strike. The GPS radio collars used on all red wolves to be released into the NC NEP will be modified to include strategically placed orange reflective material that will increase visibility of the animal along roadways at night, particularly when they are moving, and provide additional identification for hunters to potentially decrease gunshot mortality due to misidentification.
On October 3, , the lone surviving red wolf released from captivity this spring, a male, was shot and killed on private land in the general area where he had established a territory over the last several months.
FWS Special Agents are currently investigating the incident. Remote camera footage from late October shows what appears to be two of the red wolf pups that were fostered in the den of a wild female red wolf this past spring.
This indicates that at least two of the fostered red wolf pups, and possibly more, are still alive on the landscape at this time. Targeted trapping of this family group will occur this winter once the pups are large enough to be radio-collared.
Adults are categorized as red wolves 3 years of age or older, subadults are red wolves that are greater than 6 months old and less than 3 years old, and pups are red wolves less than 6 months old. Every quarter, the Service and its partners in red wolf recovery meet via a conference call to provide updates on the status of red wolf related actions. The purpose of these calls is to:.
On Dec. Plans for additional sessions were interrupted by the COVID pandemic but we anticipate resuming these in the near future. The program will help provide both technical and financial support to private landowners to help promote and implement habitat improvement projects that benefit both the landowner and the wildlife that depend on the resource, specifically to promote habitat for red wolf prey species.
In exchange for financial and technical support, landowners will allow for the presence of red wolves on their private lands, un-harassed. The Red Wolf Center located just outside Columbia, North Carolina, is a public education center that houses red wolf displays and a live red wolf pair in a viewing enclosure. The Red Wolf Center also offers red wolf educational talks to school and other groups. A Species Status Assessment and 5-year review for the red wolf completed.
Federal court ruling places permanent injunction against the taking of red wolves without demonstrating that the red wolf in question is a threat to human safety or the safety of livestock or pets.
