video game,star wars video gamesSilent Hill F Review - Spirited Away

In my restless dreams, I see that town. I see its fog-drenched foothills and derelict buildings. I see its dead-end alleys and blank-faced inhabitants. And though it's not the same haunt that ensnared Harry, Heather, James, and the others--the same town that’s siren song broke many a man while simultaneously building one of the most iconic horror game franchises in existence--Silent Hill f's Ebisugaoka is still a place that demands your attention; a place that, once you're there, you never truly leave. Or perhaps more aptly, it never leaves you.

The same can be said for Silent Hill f itself. Although the game distances itself from previous entries in the series--most notably by trading in its Lynchian-meets-Boschian ambience and small-town America setting in favor of slow-burning Japanese horror and the humid foothills of Honshu--its overall experience is every bit as memorable as those offered by its predecessors. And yet Silent Hill f is not merely a somewhat-divergent continuation of a beloved series; it's an evolution, offering several gameplay improvements while also paving a new path forward. With its brilliant writing, well-designed and strategic gameplay, engaging combat, and spectacular visuals, Silent Hill f firmly establishes itself as a phenomenal work of psychological horror and among the best entries in the Silent Hill series.

Though Silent Hill f's setting is, to be cliche, very nearly a character in itself, at the center of the game's story is Shimizu Hinako, a young high school student who is violently thrust into a disturbing version of her hometown. In the game's opening moments, it's made clear that Hinako's relationships are rife with tension. As a young woman growing up during the late 1960s, much of this tension stems from her resistance towards being a "proper" young woman, much to her parents' dismay. In her journal, she writes that her father is the very definition of a patriarchal husband--demanding, severe, and domineering--while her mother is passive to the point of cowardice. For a long time, Hinako's older sister, Junko, was the only person she could rely on for companionship and protection. This changed, however, once she got married and left home, leaving Hinako alone and drowning in resentment.

video game,star wars video gamesSuperman 4K Limited Edition With Lenticular Art Up For Grabs During Launch Week

Superman soars onto 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD this Tuesday, September 23. The well-reviewed reboot directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet has been one of the best-selling 4K Blu-rays at major retailers since preorders opened July 11--the same day the DC Studios film kicked off its successful theatrical run. The Limited Edition Steelbook has been sold out for months, but Walmart just opened preorders for a Lenticular Art Limited Edition featuring Superman and Clark Kent. This edition isn't likely to remain in stock for long, so you should snag a copy for $30 before it's gone.

The Lenticular Art Limited Edition is the same price as the standard 4K Blu-ray edition at Amazon and Walmart. And if you're looking for the 1080p Blu-ray, you can snag a copy for only $25.
