I never really felt Silent Hill was THAT beloved of a franchise to warrant bias one way or the other tho. Not like, say, Final Fantasy. Yeah they made a movie on it, but they also made ones on "Alone in the Dark" and "Farcry" :p
Based on what I read at the awesome review site for awesome people who review things awesomely and are awesome with an awesome banner (Gamepad Dojo) I don't think Shattered Memories would win much approval, Silent Hill or no Silent Hill slapped in front of it. Unless NonCon's a bitter little liar and was spinning his review toward the negative for entertainment purposes but why would he do that? This is the internet! All things are true. (tho honestly, I do figure he was genuinely serious about its suckitude)
That being said, and speaking of Final Fantasy, would Crystal Bearers have been "better" had "Final Fantasy" not been in front of it and raised those subconscious expectations? (I've never played it but I heard it sucked/was mediocre)
