Both xbox 360 and PS3 will be seeing Silent Hill 5 by the end of 2007, according to the rumor section of the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. This would be the first iteration of the series on either console.
The other tidbit from EGM states that development of the xbox 360 and PS3 title will be spearheaded in by Konami in the United States instead of in Japan.
The website CVG reported in April that Akira Yamaoka, the producer of Silent Hill 2 on PC, would be working on the latest SH game. “At the moment I cannot reveal much detail on the story, or our progress, but I can tell you that this game will resemble Silent Hill 2 in the terms of the way the player is directed and the characters’ behaviour,” said Yamaoka.
Konami has yet to comment on the magazine’s assertions, but we’ll be on the lookout for more details about SH5 as they become available.

Ever dreamed about playing your fave xbox 360 title but while using a Wiimote? Sure, it sounds like a Bizarro World concept, but Wii-FTW forum admin “Sir CRX” appears to have created a mod to achieve this goal.
From Wii-FTW:
Through the use of 1 Nintendo Wii remote and 1 xbox 360 controller, yours truly has created a way to use any computer accessory (even an additional wiimote) to control your 360. Click here to look at the simple wiring. Only 4 buttons are currently supported but joystick, and all additional buttons will come later(as well as a how to). This is only the first “phase” or “version” of this project.
A YouTube video of the alleged mod in action can be seen here. The only problem — it doesn’t have any of the Wiimote functionality outside of the buttons. So there’s no motion sensing. Looks like we’re going to have to stick with our tried ‘n’ true wireless 360 controller.
