there were a lot of rather "nice" pictures like that one in this particular branch of the story. I wonder if this is at all like the actual stories that were told to the kids.

Speaking of Silent Hill... the 2nd Silent hill game was part of the "free" games as well. I booted it up last night but just as I had feared, that game was chock full of cinematics right from the start. I think it was a good 15 minutes before I even controlled anything. I turned it off after another cinematic sequence loaded. If you've played SH2 much and think I should endure the movie-esque part of it because of some great payout, please let me know. I tend to easily give up on games that hit you with so many "movies" without letting you actually play.
