Great review as always Wade. This bit, in particular, struck me as brilliant insight:

Edit: Our scores are not at all similar, haha. I just looked.

I'm glad that someone made a feedback thread for this review, because while I agree that it's a great read, I have one suggestion so tiny it's barely worth mentioning: I'd remove the "overall" from your closing paragraph. One of my pet peeves with reviews is when people begin their closing paragraphs with phrases like "in conclusion" or "overall," as it reads like a reviewing crutch meant to hide the fact that the writer isn't sure how to transition to the conclusion.

Ha, Mike, you're quite the reviewing Nazi, it seems. Lots of pet peeves! I won't rehash my defense of 'reviewing cliches' here which I ranted on at length about in some other topic -- but I've got to add my two cents (!!) about 'overall' and its ilk.

You sent me an HG mail addressing the hostility between us, Masters, and I've pretty much said everything I wanted to say in my response. But if you're going to call me a "reviewing Nazi" because I posted a comment about a little pet peeve that I acknowledged as being so minor it's barely worth mentioning, then I hope you don't mind if I call you "childish" for doing so.

Now that the staff have further expressed their disfunctionality, let's talk about this good Silent Hill 3 review.
I don't have to boost my review resume because I have a real resume. |

Let the 'net drama go, focus on the review.
For us. For them. For you. |

SH3 really overdoes it on the dark and the dank, and SH4 was just a pain in the ass for half the game, but I still like them because I eat up this shit like a moron.

Another person who likes this game more than I do. I'd reference my review, but it's old, long and clunky.

Great review, dude. I've been wanting to play this one for awhile but used copies tend to cost around $30 here.
