Return to Silent Hill... if you dare.

Silent Hill 2 has unanimously been hailed as one of the creepiest games ever made so it was only a matter of time before Konami re-released the game in HD. However instead of only releasing this game, they’ve decided to bundle it up with Silent Hill 3 to form the Silent Hill HD collection. Why they left Silent Hill 1 out of the equation is still a mystery to us.

Unit 13 (PS Vita)



From the makers of the SOCOM series and the PS3 exclusive MAG comes Unit 13, a third person tactical shooter exclusively for the Vita. There’s really not much to be said about this game because it feels a lot like its (spiritual) predecessors. Worth checking out only if you’re a fan of the genre.

I am Alive (Xbox360)



I Am Alive, Ubisoft’s survival action adventure has been dead for a while. The game’s also gone through a plethora of changes, beginning life as a full-fledged game only to end up a downloadable title for the Xbox360 via Xbox Live. The story still stays the same wherein you play as a survivor who’s looking for his wife and child through a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

FIFA Street (Xbox360 PS3)



A reboot of sorts of the FIFA Street franchise, FIFA Street will basically play out like the 2005 iteration which translates to soccer on the streets. The most striking difference over here is the art style that seems more grungy and realistic as opposed to 2005’s cartoony style. Expect newer players and of course, tons of new moves.

Street Fighter X Tekken (PS3 Xbox360 PC)



Yet another cross over fighting game from Capcom, this one pits the fighters from the Street Fighter universe against those from the Tekken universe to decide once and foreall which universe has the hardest fighters. This game will also make an appearance on the PS Vita as announced by Capcom last week.
