Latest Update to ‘Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition’ Adds More Fixes, Restorations
A few years back, we touched on the fan-made enhancement mod for Konami’s classic Silent Hill 2 for the PC. On top of fixing lingering bugs, Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition revamped the graphics and textures to give the almost two-decade old game the loving restoration it deserved. The creators behind the project have now posted a new update video showing off the latest achievements in the project.
There’s a surprising amount of goodies added to this update, most notably soft shadows, self shadows, controller support (including rumble support), restoring post-processing effects and more. You can keep up with the project on Twitter, or visit the project’s official site. In order to actually use this mod, you’ll need a copy of either the North American or European “Director’s Cut” of Silent Hill 2 on PC, as well as a few other mods. The issue of getting an actual copy of the game on PC might be difficult for some, but it’s definitely worth it.
🎉 AND WE ARE LIVE! 🥂
Update Release #4 is now available for the Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition project!

Sell Hot Dogs by Day, Gather Ingredients by Night in ‘Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator’ [Trailer]
Ultimate Games is getting in on the horror job sim genre next month with Panic Panda’s Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator. Launching on August 11 for PC via Steam, the open world title will also be making its way to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series at a later date.
Combining horror elements, grotesque humor, and retro PS1-style graphics, Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator has players arrive in the foggy town of Grimshore and open their own hot dog shop. Things are a real struggle to keep the business running while also securing your products.
During the day, you’ll be grilling the sausages, slicing the buns, frying up the potatoes, and doing the good entrepreneurial work your customers expect. Keep customers happy, keep the money coming, and reinvest in your growing fast food empire. At night, you’ll need to stock up on ingredients for hot dogs and other products. That involves dipping into Grimshore’s graveyard. Head out after dark, source some fresh ingredients, and get them back to the shop before opening time.
In amongst the side quests, the main plot sees you uncovering the stories of Grimshore, which the town would rather keep buried. You’ll also be digging into your own character’s past, though you may not like what you find down there.
