Unfortunately, it’s not for the new Silent Hill as Yamaoka is now signed on with Grasshopper Manufacture and has stepped away from mine and Nicole’s favorite video game franchise.  The Silent Hill 3 video below will let you hear some of McGlynn’s vocal stylings, but ‘You’re Not Here’ is one of my favorite video game songs of all-time- bar none.  We’ll be sure to put more updates here as we learn more about this new outing and Yamaoka’s continued musical endeavors.

That’s right, the below teaser trailer was released this week and shows definitively that a remake (or re-envisioning?) of American McGee’s Alice is on its way sometime in 2011 courtesy of EA.  I fondly remember playing the original years ago and while I thought much of the platforming and game mechanics were more than a little buggy, the presentation was amazing and I don’t expect that this remake will be any less alluring.  Check out the video below!

The new "Sims" logo, in all its gloryOn Sunday Josh and I drove over to Easton to enjoy the weather, the food, and for him, the Apple Store. I was pleasantly surprised however to find that they offered a demo of The Sims 3, the newest rendition of The Sims franchise. Although it didn’t allow gameplay, I did get to experience exactly what making a Sim character would be like in the newest version of the number one selling PC game of all time.
