download free silent hill 2 book of lost memories

Konami originally commissioned Book of Memories back in 2010, wanting a fast-paced handheld experience that would make use of the then-upcoming PS Vita’s multiplayer functionality. And with Book of Memories celebrating its 10 th anniversary this year, I thought that it might be interesting to dive into what makes this strange little game tick.

After pouring a surprising amount of time into the title and learning to accept some of its conceptual issues, I realized that my initial theory about the franchise as a whole was still correct. After all, it was the last main entry in the series if you disregard the P.T./ Silent Hills debacle, and it’s not like there are that many high-profile horror games on Sony’s ill-fated successor to the PSP. Many years later, I got my hands on a used Vita and found myself with a bit of free time, so I finally decided to give this much maligned experiment a try. That’s why I originally gave the game a pass back in late 2012.

Not only did I find the idea of a portable dungeon crawler offensive to the very spirit of the franchise, but, like most people I know, I didn’t own a PlayStation Vita. However, despite being such a die-hard fan of the series, I had long avoided the infamous Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Hell, I even like to revisit the cinematic oddity that is Silent Hill: Revelation from time to time. Critics remarked on its departure from the perceived trappings of the Silent Hill franchise, and were divided on its place within the series: some wrote that it succeeded as an enjoyable dungeon crawler, while others criticized it as neither a faithful Silent Hill title nor a good dungeon crawler.From the impressive production value of Homecoming to the moody ambience of Downpour, I think there’s something to love about every single game in the Silent Hill franchise. Upon release, Book of Memories received mixed reviews. Daniel Licht returned to score its soundtrack Rob King and voice actor Troy Baker contributed a track, which featured vocals by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Baker's background vocals. The narrative concept of Book of Memories was inspired by the fictional Book of Lost Memories in Silent Hill game lore, with the Book of Memories conceptualized as the literal story of a person's life. Konami intended for the game's content to be oriented towards short multiplayer sessions on a handheld console, which was a departure from the single-player gameplay of previous Silent Hill titles. Book of Memories entered development in summer 2010.
