Season 6 of The Gaming Backlog "Book Club” covers Silent Hill 2 Remake. We discuss our expectations for the game based on the very limited knowledge we have about the Silent Hill franchise, its lore and past experiences with horror and survival horror video games. Silent Hill 2 is set to be the creepiest and most unsettling of them all, so it’s time to lead into the fall season with this timeless classic.

Stay tuned for next week's episode to discover how it went for us in Silent Hill 2 Remake Part 1, and share some tips, tricks and stories.

Jump, scratch and meow along with hosts Alex and Andrew about their playthroughs of Stray, as they discuss the ups and downs of being a cat in a dystopian world full of robots under the watchful eyes of more than one type of unknown surveillance. Stray surprised us first with the existence of its story and again with the depth of that story. It is more than a simple “be a cat doing cat things” experience, even though those elements of Stray are very enjoyable. What did you think about your escape from the Dead City and all of its cyberpunk charm?

Stay tuned for next week's episode to learn about the next game from the backlog that we’ll be playing.
