Broadband entertainment just got eerie!
This Halloween, Turner
Broadcasting's GameTap gets into the spirit of the holiday by featuring
a number of the greatest fright night franchises ever, including
"Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams" and the "Konami Collector's Series:
Castlevania & Contra," alongside an all-new episode of Hyper 5.
Silent
Hill 2: Restless Dreams: As part of this decade's most indelible
survival horror series, "Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams" contains all
of the content of the original console version of "Silent Hill 2," but
with the PC extras. This includes the "Born from a Wish" scenario where
players take control of Maria prior to her first appearance in the main
game. Also included is a sixth ending to the main scenario and a minor
feature that allows you to switch to a different film stock
presentation.
Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania &
Contra: If "Silent Hill" is too mature for your taste, check out this
E-rated 8 Bit collection of the first three "Castlevania" titles along
with two "Contra" classics ("Contra" and "Super C"). These
"Castlevania" vampire-slayer classics are filled with icons from horror
literature and legends, such as Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster,
Medusa, and the Grim Reaper. Speaking of the Grim Reaper, tune into
GameTap TV to check out the following brand new episode of Hyper 5
Hyper
5 - Custom Tailored Grim Reapers: This episode of GameTap TV's
countdown show highlights the top 5 video game characters that rely on
their special suits or outfits to accomplish tasks. They are stylin'
and profilin', deadly dangerous, and most importantly “ they look GOOD.
Additional
Games: Also joining the network on Halloween is "Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon Gold" (which includes the "Desert Siege" and "Island Thunder"
expansions) and "Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire," a timely Arcade
classic from Capcom.
