Konami unveils the Silent Hill: Homecoming widget photo

Today, Konami unveiled the Silent Hill: Homecoming widget. The widget is described as an “interactive book” that will give users a glimpse into the pretend lives of some of the characters in Homecoming via journal entries. It also has a few screens, videos, and various tidbits of news pertaining to the game.

The widget can be found here and if you’re feeling froggy, you can embed it into your favorite social networking page. It’s sure not to annoy any of your normal friends, really, we swear.

Of course, if you’re dying for information about the newest Silent Hill, then you need not look far. Tiff got hold of the game earlier this year, and Nick has had the luxury of being acquainted with some of the larger denizens of the game.

Hit the break for the full press release, and make sure to check out our impressions of the game. Also, tell me what you’ll use this widget for.

About Silent Hill Homecoming
Silent Hill Homecoming follows Alex Shepherd to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his brother. On his quest, Alex discovers eerie occurrences taking place around town. Players help Alex unravel a tale that takes him from his childhood home to the fog-shrouded streets of Silent Hill to confront the evil that has taken his brother. The game features an enhanced combat system that provides players with a wide array of attacks to use against the evil monsters lurking throughout the town. Alex's terrifying confrontations are made even more frightening and realistic by an all-new soundtrack from acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka.

I'm going to add it on my MySpace because I'm totally hip.

I've already seen enough of this raping of a great franchise, thanks very much. The developers of this game are morons.
