Faux box art!

So! There’s a new Silent Hill coming out…Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Peter Reviews will be writing something about it soon (I think).

They’ve also been pretty critically and commercially successful, but then I don’t really care about that in a lot of ways…we care if the game is good, right?
