Konami announces Silent Hill 8 8 September 2010 15:33:28
A new instalment of the Silent Hill games series will be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 next year, Konami has announced.
The eighth game of the franchise, which is going under the working title of Silent Hill 8, will stick to the third-person survival horror format for which the series is famed.
"In honouring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, we're working hard to build a next generation horror game that the fans truly deserve," said Shinji Hirano, president of Konami.
"This Silent Hill introduces an all-new storyline and unique evolutions in gameplay, building on innovations and successes from over a decade of true survival horror and terror."
The game starts with the crash of a prison transport vehicle, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill.
Konami promises players mind-bending puzzles, horrific creatures and otherworld terrors as part of the gameplay.
As well as the main storyline, gamers will be presented with variable side quests along the way.
The first Silent Hill was released on the PlayStation in 1999.
Current X Factor series could be Cheryl's last 8 September 2010 15:32:29
X Factor: The Game on the Xbox 360 may be a nice memento for fans of the show as this year's series could be the last to feature Cheryl Cole.
According to the News of the World, the Girls Aloud star is considering leaving the show in order to focus on her singing and concentrate on building her career in the US.
The paper claims that she is planning a fresh start in the States with new boyfriend Derek Hough following her break up with Ashley Cole.
Furthermore, it has been rumoured she is being lined up as a judge on the new American version of the X Factor.
"This is Cheryl Cole phase two. She's not changing her name but she's changing every other aspect of her life," a source said.
"She wouldn't have the time to do both of the X Factors plus release new songs - and she's got her heart set on America where Derek lives."
X Factor: The Game is due to be released in the fourth quarter of 2010.

"It is our firm belief that the franchise has massive potential on the Nintendo DS and Wii formats and it's an honour to be bringing Doctor Who video games to the show's huge fan base," said Simon Bailey, managing director of Asylum Entertainment.
