Siren: New Translation - Preorder

NCS didn't think the original Siren game needed an encore but Sony disagrees. They're remaking the game for the Playstation 3 with highly polished visuals, Dual Shock 3 support, and the same storyline that shook PS2 gamers when Siren first shipped in 2003. In case anyone wants to check the game out, the Japanese Playstation Network has a playable demo available for download. It's fairly short but somewhat enjoyable and relatively import-friendly. One complaint that we have concerns the dark environments that you'll wander around in. They were also dark in the original PS2 version and we get that the designers wanted to instill an overwhelming sense of dread. However, it's so dark that you can barely see anything. Early preorders will include a bonus "Original Siren Handbook" in 30% ratio and reservations are welcome to ship on July 24.
