Apparently, somehow since the first game, this became necessary.
Sometimes I'll get a stray hair (I don't like the phrase 'wild hair') of an urge to take a close look at something old to others, but new to me. I really liked the first couple of Silent Hill games when they came out, but for some reason never got around to playing any of the sequels beyond that. My boyfriend bought Homecoming super cheap recently, and I had a chance to give it a go. In a word, ugh.
