Silent Hill is 25 years old! Let's talk about Silent Hill 2 Remake, the teaser and combat trailers!

It's Silent Hill's 25th Anniversary! Let's chat about Silent Hill, the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake, and the teaser / combat trailers. Yes... I am not worried. I am EXCITED!

I've been a longtime Silent Hill fan since Silent Hill 2 first came out on PC back in 2002. It's a game (and series) that is very special to me and millions of people worldwide.

In this video, I just chat about how I became a fan, a little bit about it's history, and what details I've observed regarding the trailers that have been released for Silent Hill 2 Remake.
