Silent Hill loves dark corridors like I love French vanilla ice cream. So no wonder this latest batch of Silent Hill: HD Collection screens are cloaked in darkness. And no wonder I'm eating French vanilla ice cream.
Originally, announced for the PS3, the Silent Hill: HD Collection is also coming to the Xbox 360. It features HD versions of Silent Hill 2 and 3 with new voice acting and Achievements and Trophies. Slated for early 2012.
