The Man with the Glowing Beard

I just finished playing Silent Hill 3 last weekend, making it the first ps2 game i finished on my backward compatible ps3. Silent Hill 3 was the obvious first choice it had great replay value, still is one of the best looking game of its era and on top of that, i get to drum up some excitement for the lacklustre sequel that was recently released on the ps3. Despite all that i still end up taking more than two months to finish the game, clocking in a game time of less than ten hours.

You know what they say about the little deflects that show up whenever you play ps2 games on a ps3 unit that doesn't have hardware-enabled backward compatibility? While i didn't run into any major problem with Silent Hill 3, i did notice one slightly amusing deflect from the game running on my ps3. Remember how Douglas reminded everyone of Donald Sutherland when you first saw him? His beard is certainly a work of art, augmented on the ps3 by the fact that it actually glows in the dark !No kidding during the cutscene where Douglas and Heather are both driving Silent Hill, you can still clearly see his beard behind the misty wet windscreen. Apart from that i'm happy to report that there were no other major deflect, i'm eager to see just how the other games would look like.
