'S' is for Silent Hill, Survival Horror, and Snow...,
I thought I'd write a review of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (which I ordered from Amazon) to balance out the few bad reviews that were being written.
First off, it's a good game. It deserves a good review.
Second, it has NO load times. Apparently, Nintendo is good at this sort of thing. It's always fun opening up a door without having to wait for a load screen to get done. And it's really cool to see Harry's hand on the doorknob pulling or pushing open the door. Real-time transformation from normal Silent Hill to Nightmare Silent Hill is horror movie quality stuff.
Third, gorgeous graphics. Now, the thing is, a lot of people say that graphics are how you can tell a lot of love went into a game, and that's just NOT true. However, when gorgeous graphics ACCOMPANY gorgeous gameplay, that's when you can say "Wow, a lot of love went into making this game." And, yes, a lot of love went into making this game.
Finally, unique story and subplots. It kind of reminds me of Clock Tower. Lots of little stories involving several different people. Little scary stories. Think of it like this: if those newspaper clippings from all the other Silent Hill games could TALK and actually tell you their stories... what would it sound like, what would it be like? There is also the one big main story, which is great too, but I liked the smaller stories because they were a whole lot creepier.
Buy. This. Game. Period.
***UPDATE*** December 26, 2009
Those bad reviewers that I spoke of are now starting to rate the helpfulness of the good reviews, in an attempt to bring down the helpfulness ratings. Don't be fooled -- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, for the Wii at least, is survival horror bliss.

Very... unsettling.,
Given this is Silent Hill and that I'm a pansy when it comes to anything in the horror genre I was expecting to be playing this from perching over the back of the couch, ready to grab one of my fluffy dogs and duck down at the first sign of eldritch abominations and hallways made of meat.
Turns out I didn't have to do that, and, really, this game may be better off for it.
Honestly, I'm not sure this game was meant to be frightening at all. I found the chases to be very tense, though that was mostly because of that lovely Wiimote totally spinning you around when you're shoving those meatbags off you. "ALL RIGHT, SHOOK IT OFF!! ...okay, what direction was I facing again? Oh bugger." Tense, very annoying when it caused you to be subject to the meatbags' erm... disquieting way of finishing you off. But definitely not scary.
My personal opinion is that the game was meant to be unsettling. The messages you receive? Unsettling. The static ghosts? Unsettling. That little nagging thought in your head that... no... no the game can't be about THAT. Definitely unsettling. And the big reveal at the end? OH GOD YES that was UNSETTLING.
As a horror game I have to admit that Shattered Memories fails. As a game that explores the psyche in ways that make you uncomfy I believe it succeeds admirably. In that way it truly is a Silent Hill game, because that knot in the pit of your stomach? It ain't from fear. It's from being mercilessly shoved outside of your comfort zone. And that is FANTASTIC and what I believe Silent Hill has always been best at.
Don't buy this game for shock terrors and cheap thrills. Buy it for that whisper in the back of your head that as you're playing tells you that something isn't quite right here...
I can't wait to start a new game.

It worked for me!,
The process outlined in this book actually works! Two weeks after completing the seven-week series of exercises outlined in this book, I met the love of my life and was married 11 months later. The daily exercises are ideal for shifting your energy so that you are a vibrational match (and magnet) for the partner you are looking for. Beautifully written and articulate in its message, "Calling In The One" outlines a grounded, logical, insightful, and magical process that really works.

I'm softening my review of this book...,
Last year, I wrote a very harsh review of Katherine Woodward Thomas's book, "Calling In The One" because I was down on relationships and the whole idea of soulmates at the time. But I later realized I was wrong to condemn Ms. Thomas and give her book a poor review. Life has taught me a few things since I read it the first time, and I can admit a mistake.
What changed my mind was that I observed this book change people's lives after reading it. Although I felt it didn't work for me (mainly because I'm one of those picky, independent, commitment-phobic type A girls), I did see its possible value for single male and female friends of mine, so I recommended the book to them. After reading it, these people changed before my eyes and became softer, more available to relationships, and more open to possibilities. Many got rid of their "lists" and stopped condemning men (and women). Two of these friends are now in committed relationships. My buddies used the techniques in Thomas's book to introspect and renovate their lives to a new possibility of love. The results speak for themselves. I therefore must amend my earlier somewhat cruel review of this work. Simply put, her techniques and suggestions work - kind of like eHarmony - granted the reader is really serious about finding and keeping genuine love. This book demands no less.
Although the wonderful chapters and intriguing case stories did not work for me personally, I can see the value in "Calling In The One", and I highly recommend this book to any single who is serious about finally escaping the drudgery and endless wheel of fruitless dating, and focusing on and finding the one who concludes all searches.
And for those who asked:
Katherine's book did not work for me because I find I have a fear of losing my independence and creative ideas to a man who will smother me, suffocate me, control me and turn me into a baby-making machine that exists to pick up his socks and make his meals. It sounds ridiculous, but yes, that's a very real fear of mine. Until I wake up and face and debunk that baseless fear, I will remain successful but alone. The two are not mutually exclusive, but a strong part of me still holds terror that they are. Thomas's book in many ways helped me to see that. How many books grow on you over time and make you completely reverse your original opinion of them?
Highly recommended.
