What Dreams Are Made Of
Silent Hill- is one of my all time favorite games of all time. Its also one of my all time favorite psychological horror games. Its twisted, suspenseful, insane and very very foggy. So much fog in this game, you dont even know were your going. Its a plus cause it adds to the atmosphere to the game. The downfall, you probley get lost. Other than that, its a excellent game.

The Game: you play as Harry Mason as he searches for his missing adopted daughter in the eponymous fictional American town of Silent Hill; stumbling upon a cult conducting a ritual to revive a deity it worships, he discovers her true origin. Five game endings are possible, depending on actions taken by the player, including one joke ending.

The objective: The player is to guide main protagonist and player character Harry Mason through a monster-filled town as he searches for his lost daughter, Cheryl. Silent Hill's gameplay consists of combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving.

The Gameplay: The game uses a third-person view, with the camera occasionally switching to other angles for dramatic effect, in pre-scripted areas. This is a change from older survival horror games, which constantly shifted through a variety of camera angles. Because Silent Hill has no heads-up display, the player must consult a separate menu to check Harry's "health".

If you play the PS3 verison, the DualShock controller is used a heart beat rhythm can be felt signifying that the player is at low health.

Visibility is mostly low due to fog and darkness; the latter is prevalent in the "Otherworld".

Navigating through Silent Hill requires the player to find keys and solve puzzles.

Its a excellent game, that pefectly represents the psychological horror genre.

Hilarious and Brilliant
This film is what I'd consider slapstick humor that's been deeply influenced by the dark humor we've all grown to love. Although this film has a slow start and the tendency to loss many at the begin while you make your way through the starting storyline the overdramatics throughout is truly what makes it the brilliant piece it is. For anyone who enjoys the classic action cop film this is a humor they will either appreciate or hate depending on where you truly land on the scale of dark humors. I guarantee that if you truly love dark, twisted humor as I do then you will love this film and won't be able to walk away with anything less than a silly from on your face.

Escape Clause by Mary Billiter

Four Stars

This story was seriously funny and sad at the same time. You have Ollie's family betraying him and each other. Then there is the family businesses that are failing. I like Ollie he is very sweet and loyal. He is the type of guy you want around when you have pms. Kelsey was a strong person and I give her mad props for putting up with the mess her son's father put in her way. On top of her family not supporting her and believing her. Their relationship was quirky and fun. Ollie treated her son like he was his and you have to appreciate anyone who steps into a rule for a child. I enjoyed the story and how the author twisted the plot. The characters were relatable and well written.
