Why, hello there four-day week, what a pleasure to see you. Please, come in and enjoy some chocolate festivities.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Easter is upon us – and that means public holidays, over-indulgence, and of course, the release of HD remakes of games revolving around demons and the occult. It’s almost too ironic to be true.<\/p>\n

If horror and over-the-top sword-play isn’t your thing, perhaps loop-the-loops are your thing – or maybe there is something else in the mix that tickles your fancy.<\/p>\n

Silent Hill Downpour (PS3\/360)<\/h3>\n

Delayed in South Africa for some reason, Silent Hill: Downpour is finally coming out this week, and despite mixed reviews, Silent Hill fans are quite excited to get their hands on a new adventure into the depths of hell. Weird, that.<\/p>\n

In Downpour, players take on the role of Murphy Pendleton, a prisoner who is stranded in the town of Silent Hill after a prisoner transport vehicle crash. That’s one town you don’t want to be stranded in after an accident.<\/p>\n

If you’re not looking to get in on the new adventure, then you can also look forward to the HD Collection coming on the same day, 5 April 2012, which will feed your nostalgia with HD reworkings of Silent Hill 2 and 3.<\/p>\n

Top Gun Hard Lock (PC\/PS3\/360)<\/h3>\n

Remember when Tom Cruise wasn’t crazy and starred in that movie, Top Gun? Well, aside from creating a bankable star, the movie also established a bankable brand – even when a game set in its universe (but remains completely unrelated) pops up 26 years later.<\/p>\n

The game features aerial dog-fighting gameplay (that with jets, if you were wondering) in both single-player and multiplayer modes. It also has a Danger Zone mode which, if you can believe it, is actually a form of aerial horde – which sounds pretty awesome, actually.<\/p>\n

The game takes off on Good Friday (6 April 2012), so if you prefer G-force to chocolate Easter eggs, this should fulfill your fly-boy needs<\/p>\n
