Siren: New Translation - New Import, Restock on Monday

NCS didn't think the original Siren game needed an encore but Sony disagrees. They've revamped the game for the Playstation 3 with highly polished visuals, Dual Shock 3 support, and the same scary storyline that shook PS2 gamers when Siren first shipped in 2003. Players take a trip to a forlorn village named Hanuda which has been afflicted by red water that turns the living into grotesque and murderous creatures known as "Shibito." Although Siren may be classified as a survival game in a horror setting, the burden of survival doesn't rest on a single protagonist. A whole cast of characters serve to move the narrative along and engage the Shibito in loathsome activities. Siren is relatively import friendly - the voice acting is in English and the archives from the film crew are also marked with English text. Note however that the subtitles are in Japanese.

Early preorders will include a bonus "Original Siren CD" in 30% ratio. We'll give the bonus out accordingly today.
