G4’s look at this new section of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories shows just how disorienting and unnerving the Wii game can be. In Shattered Memory you’ll be running around in the dark, your only light source a flashlight you aim with the remote. The mechanic does a great job of immersing you in the gameplay.
