"Barrow Hill is a horror/thriller adventure game; told from the point of view of the player using a first person perspective. Set in mysterious Cornwall, rich with legends; from sacred wells to dark forests, the players will unravel many mysteries, after being stranded on the lonely road to the 'barrow'. This ancient burial site, from pre-history, sits shrouded amongst the watching trees of the hill. "

Could it be Silent hill in first person view!? :icon28:
That would fucking rawk... a more slowpaced scary horror game with occasional "monsters" and stuff...

Im looking forward hearing and seeing more about it. :icon31:

I've heard a lot about it, just never picked it up. I have a lot of impulses to buy games when I see them, but since I hardly have any time to play them anymore, and usually don't even finish the ones I do buy, I hate to spend cash on a game unless it's just awesome.

Doom and FarCry are the only games I've bought in the last couple of years I believe, and I still haven't finished those. I still find time to play a game of Q3 once every week or two somehow, but that's because I can play it in short bursts when I have to.

I'm quite a bit behind on most of the gaming scene.

SH in first person would kill it. the firstperson parts in SH4 were ok, but i like the 3rd person thing better. that way they can make stuff happen behind you without you missing out on it, too :icon14:

2, IMO. best story, nice depressing atmosphere.
others say 1 though. although i liked 3 more than 1 i think. i dont like the style of SH1 n 3 - the cheap scares and gore are fun but when you turn it off, its gone.
unlike SH2, which will prolly haunt you for weeks to come
