I Am Alive tells a depressing tale of a man searching for his missing family a year after The Event has nearly destroyed the world. As the man explores his hometown of Haventon in search of his family, we are told a good portion of the game's story through the narrative exploits captured on camera. This was an interesting design choice that really helps the story hit home, as you realize this seemingly ordinary man would do anything to be with his family once again.

The Silent Hill HD Collection combines two great classics into one bundle. Silent Hill 2 changed the way a Silent Hill games would be played for future generations when it was released early in the PlayStation 2's life cycle, and that game was followed up by Silent Hill 3 --a game that would provide a true sequel to the original game while providing innovations of its own.
