Two fresh interviews with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories creators:
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Interview (Official Nintendo Magazine)
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer interview (Telegraph)

According to this week's issue of Famitsu magazine after his unexpected departure from Konami Akira Yamaoka, Silent Hill series composer and producer, has signed on with Grasshopper Manufacture game studio.

"I really love Yamaoka," Grasshopper head Goichi Suda said in an interview. "Ever since I saw a video of Silent Hill 2 at the Tokyo Game Show nine years ago, I've always dreamed of working alongside him. That's why I thought I'd invite him over when I started hearing rumors that he left Konami."

"It was a case of really good timing," Yamaoka told Famitsu. "I knew about Suda long before I met him; I saw Grasshopper as one of those few Japanese outfits whose games can appeal to an overseas audience. I had a chance to meet him in Los Angeles and we talked about this and that, and once we started discussing how we wanted to do something creative for a world audience, I was hooked on the company."

Grasshopper Manufacture was founded in 1998 by the famous game designer Goichi Suda (also known as Suda51) and is notorious for such titles as No More Heroes and Killer 7. Yamaoka has already contributed tracks to studio's latest game No More Heroes 2 (listen to one of the tracks on YouTube) and according to the source he will be put to work on an untitled action horror game for Electronic Arts codeveloped with Q Entertainment and produced by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. The project is expected to be announced at E3 trade show later this year. Although his current tasks involve only composing music for Grasshopper's games, Yamaoka indicates that he would like to use his "total sum of experience" to create games in the future.

Today is finally the day of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories release in North America. Unfortunately for now it's only for Nintendo Wii - Sony PS2 and PSP owners will have to wait a bit more: the game should be out for these platforms during next year's January or February (Gamestop put date as January 12). Europeans as well won't get their hands on the fresh Silent Hill till February. By the way, the official release date didn't prevent some Gamestop retail stores from selling copies of Shattered Memories before the date specified due to some failure in the system (apparently the game copies didn't have a street date), so quite a bunch of players could already enjoy the game. Everybody who still don't, can watch two new gameplay clips from Gametrailers in the meantime:
Exploration Gameplay
Freak Beasts Gameplay

There is also a new review from Eurogamer. Their evaluation mark is 9/10!

IGN's review of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is up with a favorable overall mark of 8.6/10. The game has also got Editor's Choice Award.

Presentation 9.0
An altogether slick experience from beginning to end. The original license reborn into something new. Seems tailor made for Wii, from the superb flashlight to audio cues out of the Wii remote.
Graphics 9.0
The claustrophobic world comes to life in great detail. Huge, seamless world. Realistic characters with fluid animation. Amazing lighting and particle systems. Some occasional framerate hiccups.
Sound 8.5
A moody, dynamic soundtrack by composer Akira Yamaoka complements strong voice acting, spooky sound effects and audio cues tied to the Wii remote's speaker.
Gameplay 8.5
Tight controls and clever puzzles are separated by truly terrifying chase sequences and lots of different gameplay variations, some of which involve fun gestures. The flashlight alone is entertaining.
Lasting Appeal 6.5
Really fun while it lasts, but the experience is short -- about five or six hours. You can come back and play again with very different results (and even a new ending), though.
Overall 8.6 (Great)

And here's IGN's video review:

This is the video shown in the main menu of the game after being idle for some time. The song is "When You're Gone" from the original soundtrack.
