Blumhouse Games is VI Among the titles announced at Summer Game Fest are titles from Brandon Cronenberg and game developer Sam Barlow. Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesCheck out the full first-look trailer, which debuted at the film festival, here:

This debut title has a solid mix of styles, from a retro 8-bit vibe to the more modern graphics we're used to, and looks to be a nice mix of RPG and puzzle game. As someone who habitually gets weird fake motion sickness when playing video games, it's nice to know I'll be able to try out some of these. So let's take a look at the six titles mentioned above.

Fear of the spotlight
