Silent Hill and other reviews

GTA IV still seems to be casting a shadow over the release schedule but things are - slowly - looking up. This week's reviews cover Silent Hill: Origins for PS2 and two Wii games, Emergency Mayhem and - perhaps most interestingly of all - Secret Files: Tunguska. The latter is an old fashioned point and clicker that furthers my theory that the Wii is the ageing genre's new home. Seemingly less exciting Wii fare is offered by Emergency Mayhem, with reviewer Steve Boxer describing it is "moderately successful". And those two words could easily be used to describe the game I reviewed - Silent Hill: Origins. Actually maybe "Alan" and "Wake" would be better. The sooner this hugely promising adventure - heavily influenced by Silent Hill, Stephen king etc - arrives the better.
