the characters in Wes Craven’s magnum opus would be an obvious exception, we’re pretty sure that protagonists in horror movies have never seen horror movies — looking at the Silent Hill series, it’s clear this rule applies to video games as well. Not that we’re complaining, as if the characters in Konami’s beloved horror series would collectively realize that abandoned, fog-filled towns are abandoned and fog-filled for a reason, they would probably stop going to them in search of deceased or missing wives/offspring/brothers — and we wouldn’t have these gorgeous screenshots from the upcoming Silent Hill: Homecoming to drool over.
So thanks, horror genre characters. Your obvious ineptitude for danger avoidance may deliver you into the jaws of certain doom, but it provides us with near-limitless entertainment — and really, isn’t that more important in the long run?

When you’re a blogger and you don’t have a lot of facts to go on, one of your greatest tools is hypothesizing, or as it’s more commonly known, guessing. For example: Konami has announced that Silent Hill V has been retitled Silent Hill: Homecoming. Now, we don’t know the reason for the change, but we’re going to hypothesize that people were uncomfortable with an American-developed game that appears to be a departure from previous Silent Hills being one of the main, numbered series. See what we did there? That was just guessing.

They also say that the game will be out in Europe at the end of September. We’re going to hypothesize that it will also arrive in America around that same time, but honestly we have no idea. [Update: Hypothesis correct!] Feel free to offer your slightly less authoritative hypotheses about the name change below.
