Silent Hill HD Collection Xbox 360

Released on 30-Mar-2012

• Silent Hill: Downpour to receive score album release

  Konami has announced that the forthcoming Silent Hill: Downpour will receive a soundtrack album release in March 2012.

  Milan Records is set to bring out a collection of music from composer Daniel Licht's atmospheric score to the new Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 survival horror title, which is due out the same month.

  Licht is best known for his acclaimed work on the popular TV series Dexter and has created a haunting, eerie musical accompaniment to prisoner Murphy Pendleton's unsettling journey through the eponymous cursed town.

  The composer said: "I came up with a sound world that I feel amplifies and augments the player's experience. I incorporated numerous instruments including piano, mandolin and industrial sounds."

  Silent Hill: Downpour also features a theme tune by Jonathan Davis, frontman of nu-metal band Korn, which is included on the album release.

  March 2012 is set to be a huge month for Silent Hill fans, with the Silent Hill HD Collection and Silent Hill: Book of Memories for PlayStation Vita also due for release.

• Zone of the Enders HD sets sights on Autumn release date

  The high def remake of Hideo Kojima's cult PS2 mech shooter series, Zone of the Enders, will get a UK release this Autumn, Konami has confirmed. The compilation follows the lead of the already announced Silent Hill HD Collection, also from Konami, in offering remastered HD remakes of beloved classics.

  Zone of the Enders HD will include the original 2001 game, as well as its 2003 sequel, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. Both games follow the pilots of a flying robot suit called Orbital Frame Jehuty, as they blow stuff up across the galaxy. The second game is something of a collector's item today, and the series also inspired an animated TV show in Japan.

  "We are looking forward to bringing the legendary Zone of the Enders series to old and new fans in a high definition form," said Konami general manager Martin Schneider. "We are excited to offer these games on new platforms which will allow gamers to experience the drama and action of the Zone of the Enders like they have never seen it before."

  Zone of the Enders HD will be out in the Autumn for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Kojima is also working on a PlayStation Vita version, but no release date has been announced for that.

  Fans of Kojima's unique approach to game design should also look out for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, a collaboration between Kojima and Platinum Games, the developer of Bayonetta, due later this year.

• Silent Hill HD Collection coming at the end of March

  Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will be treated to a double-dose of classic horror when the Silent Hill HD Collection arrives in Europe on March 29th 2012.

  The new compilation will be hitting stores very soon and includes revamped versions of PlayStation 2 classics Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, both widely regarded as true greats in the survival horror genre.

  Each title has received a high-definition visual makeover, while the soundtrack and dialogue has been completely re-recorded by the original voice cast.

  The HD Collection version of Silent Hill 2 also includes all of the extra content seen in the Director's Cut edition, making this package the ultimate means of experiencing both of these iconic games.

  Silent Hill fans will be spoilt for choice over the coming weeks, as a brand new Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 instalment called Silent Hill Downpour is due to make its debut soon.

  The series will also be making its PlayStation Vita debut in the spin-off title Silent Hill: Book of Memories.
