Siren: Blood Curse

So, I would like to post my initial thoughts about Siren: Blood Curse. Firstly, $49.99 for all 12 chapters seems kinda' steep. However, once you see all that this game is doing (in the background) you understand why it is so expensive. It has taken up about 12GB on my 80 Gig hard drive. So the game is pretty huge. My one complaint is that it took forever to download and install. You have to install each chapter by itself. So I spent a good 40 minutes just letting that download. Otherwise I am blown away, and saddened that we never got Forbidden Siren 2.

I did learn something interesting while doing research on the Siren series. Apparently, the gentleman who worked on Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama. So you know that anything coming from a member of "Team Silent" will be great! :) Naoko Satō and Isao Takahashi, who were also member's of "Team Silent", also had critical roles in Siren's creation. So if that doesn't light a flame under some panties nothing will.

The game is pretty cool. You have this nifty ability to see into your enemies line of sight, called Sight Jacking. And that can be scary as hell. If you get to close to an alert Shibito (literal translation is Corpse) then it makes you auto Sight Jack and that can really make you freak out! Needless to say I've died a couple times because I got scared and ended up running in a circle.

The voice acting in Blood Curse is so much better than the first one. I never did get all the way through the first Siren, but I remember laughing a couple times at the terrible dialog. :p Dialog can be a real kicker for me.

I was even lucky enough to find a copy of Forbidden Siren the movie. Killer film. I spend a lot of my time watching foreign films, so I was really excited to stumble across this. Apprently it was released in 2006 along side the 2nd game! I am hoping we will see more Siren games in the future!

P.s. I have created a library of the games I am working on and have completed toward this quest. If you have any suggestions please feel free to jot them down!
