SILENT Hill 2 is one of the biggest releases of the month, and it was hugely popular with fans and critics alike.
It has a huge 86 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic, and people love the changes that were made to the already excellent original.

Doubts were cast about the quality of the remake after Konami announced that Bloober Team would be in charge.
Bloober Team is a Polish studio known for making horror games of varying quality, and people were worried about leaving such a gaming classic in its hands.
Games from Bloober Team have never been terrible, but with ratings between 60 and 75, they never achieved excellence.
That is until SIlent Hill 2, and people were excited to see a new game from Bloober Team during the Xbox Partner Preview.
Cronos: The New Dawn is the next game by Bloober Team, and people are encouraged by Silent Hill 2’s success.
While they are both horror games, Cronos has a completely different look to the recently released remake.
Speaking to GameSpot, director Wojciech Piejko said the two games are: “different pizzas with different toppings both delicious.”
Cronos will be the studio’s first original survival horror IP as it’s not based on an existing game.
The Silent Hill 2 remake had an incredible game at its base, and fans are still cautious about how good Bloober original game would be.
But Bloober Team says it’s going to stick to its strengths, and deliver a game just as good as the Konami remake.
Director Jacek Zięba says that the studio will stick to making horror games to make sure they are strong going forward.
He says: “We want to be a horror company. We want to find our niche, and we think we found our niche, so now we just evolve with it.
“And how that happens is more complex, but it also happens organically in a way, like with Layers of Fear, people in the studio were like, ‘Okay, we made some s****y games before, but we evolve’.”
Piejko adds “We gathered a team that loves horror, so I think, for us, it would not be easy to switch [to other genres], and we don’t want to.”
Bloob or bust
We were impressed by the teaser trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn. The character designs and concepts felt fresh and interesting.
It’s a smart move by Bloober Team to stick to its strengths by building on the momentum from its last successful release.
We haven’t seen any gameplay yet, so it’s too early to tell if the core of the game will be strong enough to carry it.
Bloober is saying all the right things, but we won’t be able to see if it has turned things around until people have their hands on Cronos.

A PHONE ping has led cops to find skeletal remains at a waste plant after a student passed out in a rubbish bin.
Agostina Rubini Medina is tragically thought to have been killed inside a rubbish truckSolarpixMurder cops are searching for the student, but believe her death was an accident[/caption]
SolarpixCops now believe skeletal remains found at the Son Reus waste treatment plant could be Medina’s[/caption]
SolarpixCops believe Medina might have dropped her phone in the bin causing her to climb inside (file photo)[/caption]
A poster has been produced to help find Medina
But the Spaniard is now feared dead after she “voluntarily climbed inside one of the rubbish containers and lost consciousness”, Majorca Daily Bulletin reported.
That bin was then collected by a lorry – with cops searching for her body at the landfill site where the truck’s contents were burned.
Investigators have now found skeletal remains and have sent them to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Palma to confirm whether they are Medina’s.
Medina’s mobile phone data was used to reconstruct her movements.
The student was last seen just before midnight on October 2 when she left friends she was drinking with.
Police believe she was waiting for a bus around midnight to head home to Palma Nova, southwest of the main city.
Cops have been able to rule out that she ever got on the bus, instead thinking she climbed into the bin.
They believe she could have dropped her phone in with the trash, climbed in after it, and fell unconscious.
Tragically, a witness was waiting for a bus shortly before her death and noticed her handbag placed neatly next to the container but thought nothing more of it.
Just after midnight on October 3, a lorry collected the rubbish bin with Medina inside.
The witness, who was at the bus stop at 12:12 am, reportedly did not hear her call for help or scream before the binmen arrived at 12:27 am to empty the bin.
The investigating homicide cops say it is “impossible to survive inside a rubbish truck”.
The truck, loaded with seven tonnes of rubbish, delivered its load at 2am where the mobile phone gave its last ping.
National Police have since been searching through 15,000 tonnes of waste in the Son Reus incinerator plant.
Cops’ hypothesis is that the alcohol Medina had drunk mixed with her medication, causing her to lose consciousness.
One pal’s mother said she was doing “everything I can” to help find Medina.
Natalia Rodríguez said: “My daughter Malén was a close friend of Agostina’s sister and, as it is normal, that she also had links with her, despite the fact that Malén was a little older.”
Missing mum-of-three, 45, who suddenly disappeared tragically found dead under pile of rubbish in garden
By Ethan Singh, News Reporter
A MUM-of-three who suddenly disappeared was found dead under a pile of rubbish in a garden, an inquest heard.
Kelly Louise Randall, 45, was last seen on May 3, 2022, and her partner reported her missing two days later on May 5.
Cops launched a search for the mum, but she was initially categorised as a low-risk missing person, despite her being a wheelchair user due to a leg amputation.
Six days after her disappearance, her risk level was upgraded to medium, prompting police to search her Swansea home, check local hospitals and review CCTV footage.
Upon learning that Kelly’s wheelchair had been spotted outside a property in Clas y Deri, in the Waunarlwydd area of Swansea, the police concentrated their search efforts there.
Alfred Millman, the homeowner, allowed officers into his property where they found a wheelchair in one of the bedrooms and blood stains on a jumper, mattress, bed sheet, and bedframe.
A mound of rubbish and debris at the back of the Welsh property caught the attention of additional officers called to the scene.
Amongst the debris, an officer spotted clothing, a trainer, and what seemed to be a human arm.
Kelly’s body was tragically discovered and Mr Millman was promptly arrested on suspicion of her murder.
However, DC Minto told the inquest that there was “no evidence found to suggest that Kelly’s death was suspicious”.

JEROD Mayo is under increasing pressure at the New England Patriots and could be axed before the end of the season following a nightmare start to his coaching career, a front office source has told The U.S. Sun.
The former Pats star had the unenviable task of stepping into the shoes of six-time Super Bowl-winning legend Bill Belichick after 24 glorious years in the hot seat.
GettyNew England Patriots front office members are growing antsy with Jerod Mayo[/caption]
GettyMayo has a 1-6 record in his first season with the Patriots[/caption]
But a torrid 1-6 start— which includes a shocking six-game losing streak following a weekend thumping in London at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars – has seen the former linebacker begin to lose the locker room as faith from the front office starts to wane.
The Pats insider, who spoke anonymously, told The U.S. Sun about his “frustration” with the current situation and the “pretty pathetic” performances so far this campaign.
Mayo vowed to make the changes before the trip across the pond, but the pain continued, and our source says time is running out.
He says cliques threaten to rip the roster apart, and complaints are already being made to the owners.
“Our team is unbalanced, the coaching decisions so far seem very off with what we have in our roster, and we have players complaining that the chemistry is not there,” moaned the source.
“There is high scrutiny with coach Mayo. He isn’t getting a grip and finding solutions to make things go well so far.”
Owner Robert Kraft always knew losing a football genius like Belichick, who agreed to stand down at the end of last season, would be a struggle.
Yet there are already mounting fears that the situation will get even worse for the rookie coach, who, according to the source, is crumbling under “maximum pressure.”
“Some people involved with the franchise doubt that he will be able to turn things around,” he continued.
“The locker room is broken, and there is maximum pressure on him as some want him out ASAP, as the team hasn’t improved and plays bad football.”
Mayo, 38, enjoyed an impressive NFL career but was installed first as a defensive coordinator and then head coach with no experience—and it’s starting to show.
Some New England fans believe the franchise has never been the same since star quarterback Tom Brady left in 2020.
Mayo has preached about patience, but the future is uncertain with escalating tensions.
“Some say he wasn’t ready, some say he can’t be a head coach, he can’t be the team leader as he doesn’t have the leadership and personality to unite a group of players,” the front office insider said.
“Tensions are very high, our defense has been horrible, and we have shown almost nothing positive since the beginning of the season, so there are big doubts about Mayo being the right man for the job.”

7. John Harbaugh – Ravens – $12 million
=8. Dan Campbell – Lions – $11 million
=8. Sean McDermott – Bills – $11 million
10. Mike MacDonald – Seahawks – $10 million
Mayo still has 10 more weeks to prove he is the right man for the job, but there isn’t any indication that the Patriots will improve against any of their upcoming oponnents.

TOTO WOLFF slammed F1 stewards’ decision to award George Russell a penalty as a “total joke” before watching Max Verstappen get away with the same thing later on.
The Mercedes chief was heard fuming over the radio to Russell – who recovered to P6 following a pit lane start – as he was awarded a five-second penalty for running Valtteri Bottas off track.

Wolff said of the steward’s verdict on the radio when the penalty was awarded: “Total joke with the penalty George, total joke.”
However, on lap 52 of the race, championship leader Verstappen appeared to run himself and title rival Lando Norris off the track at Turn 12 as he went up the inside to try and stay ahead at the apex.
The move forced both drivers off track before Norris re-entered the circuit ahead of the Dutchman.
However, F1 stewards then handed the McLaren driver a five-second penalty for gaining an advantage, which reinstated Verstappen in P3 at the end of the race.
Wolff, 52, took issue with the incident given how Russell was punished for a similar move.
On the cool-down lap, Wolff was once again heard speaking to Russell, 26, who asked whether Verstappen had received a penalty.
He replied: “No, he didn’t get a penalty and at the end Lando got a penalty for being forced off and overtaking on the outside.
“I guess it’s a bit biased decision-making but not surprising.”

A similar incident at Turn One in the first lap had allowed Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to sweep into the lead – before going on to win the race – with Verstappen forcing Norris off track to avoid a collision.
Earlier in the race Verstappen had been forced off track himself by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz at Turn 12 who had run deep, though once again no penalty was awarded for the incident.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the race, Wolff added: “It’s inconsistent. With Valtteri [Bottas] it wasn’t even a race.
“Yesterday [Saturday Sprint race] we’ve seen a few of those incidents which were exactly the same that weren’t penalised, racing for real positions actually.
“Receiving that penalty is completely odd and bizarre. I think we know why but obviously I can’t say that on television.”
F1 reporter Isabelle Barker's prediction
I EXPECT Max Verstappen to go all guns blazing over the next six-rounds. I also think his experience and aggression could give him the edge.
It seems too little too late for Norris showing consistency, despite that dominant win in Singapore last time out.
You can’t help think what could have been had he sorted out his first-lap issues sooner.
Norris needs to prove he has the mental fortitude, because we all know he’s got the speed, the team and the fastest car.
Verstappen has endured an eight-race winless streak, but he has still managed to score points, with three second-places during that time.
So I think the Dutchman will lift his fourth world-title this season, by the skin of his teeth.
In his own interview about the incident with the broadcaster, Norris said: “They obviously can’t make their minds up for a few laps. It’s not an easy decision otherwise it would have come a bit sooner.
“I tried. He also went off the track. If he’s gone off the track clearly he’s gone in way too hard and also gained an advantage by doing what he did. But I don’t make the rules, so.”
On the other hand, Verstappen accused McLaren of complaining a lot.
The feature and sprint race results this weekend saw the gap in the driver’s championship widen to 57 points.
F1 heads to Mexico next week as the second race in a triple header.
2 days agoUSA UpdateComments Off on I was raped, strangled & had teeth broken in TWO attacks by serial killer Ronald Alcala…Woman of the Hour is an insult
WITH leading man looks and snake oil salesman-like charm, serial killer Rodney Alcala has long fascinated Hollywood writers.
But one of his few living victims has slammed Netflix for its new Woman of the Hour movie, which focuses on the psychopath’s 1978 appearance on the Dating Game TV show.

She has now slammed the ‘made up’ version of events in the Netflix showSupplied
Morgan Rowan was attacked TWICE by the murderer – at the ages of 13 and 16 – and was left with horrific injuries after he raped, strangled and slashed her with a knife.
She only escaped with her life because a friend broke a window in Alcala’s house to save her – but she was left scarred for life, both mentally and physically.
Now she has slammed the new drama – directed by and starring Anna Kendrick – saying the streaming giant failed to consult survivors and twisted key aspects of Alcala’s story without any consideration for the feelings of the women he raped and killed.
Retired mum-of-two Morgan, 72, from Glendale, California, told The Sun: “The storyline for that movie is not factual.
“They just took the basic premise that he’s a murderer and went on a game show and that’s about the only thing that’s fact. They made up the rest of it.
“In reality, the girl on the game show (Cheryl Bradshaw) refused to go out with him but they created a scene where she did.
“She met him for a few minutes backstage and then she told the producer she didn’t want to go because she thought he was creepy.
“I don’t like the revision of history and I don’t like the fact they are giving him more fame and attention.
“It’s difficult to see the whole thing portrayed so differently.
“As bad as he was, they should get the story right, because if you’re changing his history, then you are changing mine too.”
Knocked unconscious
Alcala was described by detectives as a “killing machine” who murdered dozens of women while posing as a party-loving photographer and hippy.
He enjoyed toying with his victims, strangling them until they lost consciousness, then waiting until they revived, sometimes repeating the process several times before finally finishing them off.
Born in San Antonio, Texas, he served as a paratrooper in the US Army from the age of 17, but he was discharged three years later in 1964 on medical grounds after being diagnosed by a military doctor as having an antisocial personality disorder.
He went on to study film under famed director Roman Polanski at New York University and he is believed to have started his killing spree when he was in his early 20s.

Morgan was 13 when she first met him outside a Hollywood music venue on Sunset Boulevard.
She said: “It was broad daylight and I thought he was an older teen, although he must have been 22.
“He called me over and I didn’t get a lot of attention from boys so I was pleased.
“But he kept talking to other people so I was reaching over and scratching his arm to get his attention.
“At first, he thought it was cute and then he got mad and told me not to do it again.
“I was dumb and I did it again and he dragged me by my arm to the back of the club and knocked me out.
“He left me behind a dumpster and I woke up and didn’t know where I was. I ran to the club owner and told him what happened and they banned him from the club.
“I tried to stay away from him after that, but all my friends loved him. He was an extremely popular person on the 1960s Hollywood scene.”
Terrifying ordeal
Morgan next entered his murderous crosshairs in 1968, when she was just 16 years old and about to move to New York with her parents.
She continued: “He approached me and said, ‘I don’t want you to leave mad at me. I was just a dumb kid and I didn’t mean to hurt you.’
“I said, ‘I just want you to leave me alone.’
“He disappeared and an hour later me and my friends jumped in a car to go to I-Hop and it turned out Rod was driving.
“I was begging to get out, but they wouldn’t stop.
“We went to the restaurant and I considered calling my father but I didn’t and Rod was chatty and nice in the restaurant so, like a fool, I got back in the car.”
As bad as he was, they should get the story right, because if you’re changing his history, then you are changing mine too
Morgan Rowan
She ended up alone in a room in Alcala’s house in LA, where he raped, strangled and beat her savagely, slashing her with a knife, before a friend intervened.
She said: “My friend broke a window to get me out of there but Rod didn’t run away, he was nonchalant about it.
“I was badly bruised with broken ribs and teeth and I was wearing nothing but a ripped blouse. We escaped by jumping in a car with some guys and my friend called the police.

“He didn’t like hippies and he said, ‘You guys all do each other like a box of rabbits and now you want me to charge this guy with rape?’

Morgan Rowan
“I was a virgin until then, but he wasn’t going to help. He said, ‘You knew the guy, you went to his house, there’s no way he’s going to jail for rape.’”
Morgan was too embarrassed to tell her parents what happened.
Instead, she told them she sustained her injuries by being thrown on to the dashboard of a car.
Who are the UK's worst serial killers?
THE UK's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor.
Here’s a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK.
British GP Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. He was found guilty of murdering 15 patients in 2000, but the Shipman Inquiry examined his crimes and identified 218 victims, 80 per cent of whom were elderly women.
After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845.
Mary Ann Cotton is suspected of murdering up to 21 people, including husbands, lovers and children. She is Britain’s most prolific female serial killer. Her crimes were committed between 1852 and 1872, and she was hanged in March 1873.
Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby Farmers after killing at least 20 babies between 1900 and 1902. The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3, 1903.
William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people and sold their bodies.
Dennis Nilsen was caged for life in 1983 after murdering up to 15 men when he picked them up from the streets. He was found guilty of six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to life in jail.
But she was thrown into turmoil when, six weeks later, she learned that Alcala had snatched an eight-year-old girl off the street on her way to school and raped her in the same house.
That girl was Tali Shapiro, now 64 and working as a train attendant in California.
Incredibly, despite being caught red-handed as he raped and beat the schoolgirl with a steel bar, the attempted murder and rape charges were dropped when her parents refused to let her give evidence in court.
ABCCheryl Bradshaw called off the date after finding Alcala ‘creepy’[/caption]
APAlcala at a 2010 hearing in California, where he was sentenced to death for a third time[/caption]
In 1971, Alcala was convicted of child molestation and sentenced to three years.
After his release, he went on to murder at least six more victims – although the true number could be 130 – while presenting himself as a photographer and luring men and women into lewd photo shoots.
He became known as the Dating Game killer after appearing on the popular show – the US version of Blind Date – in 1978. It was not until a year later that he was apprehended again.
But Alcala repeatedly appealed his conviction on technicalities until 2010 when he was sentenced to death after Tali testified against him.
He died of natural causes in jail aged 77 in 2021.
Tali ShapiroTali Shapiro was just eight when she was almost killed by the monster[/caption]
SuppliedMorgan is now friends with Tali after a heartfelt letter[/caption]
Morgan says she spent 50 years being wracked with guilt for not doing more to put him behind bars.
She hopes the Netflix series will highlight how the US justice system repeatedly failed his victims. A previous film about the killings called the Dating Game Killer was released in 2017.
Morgan said: “Tali went to court to face him, which was incredibly brave of her and it was the first time I knew her name or saw her face.
“About four years ago I was on Facebook and it turned out we had a mutual friend. I was stunned to see her name.
“I contacted the mutual friend and said, ‘Would you please ask her if she would accept a letter from me?’
“She agreed and it took me a week to write the letter. I told her I was so sorry and she wrote back, ‘There is nothing to forgive. There is only one man that is responsible for this and he is pure evil.’
“It was a really big moment in my life, it really was, because I had been carrying so much guilt.
“Eventually we met and now I see Tali at her home in Palm Springs every couple of months. She means everything to me.
“We call each other sisters and it means everything to have her in my life and for her to forgive me, even though I’m never going to forgive myself.”
We have contacted Netflix for comment.
Morgan has written a book on the case called Stolen from Sunset.

IF the thought of buying a home sounds eye-wateringly expensive, you may wish to have a browse on Amazon.
The online retailer is currently the “perfect” tiny home for just $17,499, and it comes ready to move into.
COZYDENAmazon is currently selling the ‘perfect family house’ for $17,499[/caption]
COZYDENThe house comes with three bedrooms and a large living space[/caption]
The best part is it is described as a “family house”, as there are multiple bedrooms in the layout.
The home is said to “evoke the charm of a small villa nestled in the natural countryside, enhancing your living experience with tranquility and elegance.”
The home comes with 800 square feet of space, which consists of three bedrooms, one living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and one separated wet and dry bathroom.
On the floor plan, the three bedrooms all come off the main living space, which stretches the length of the house.
The prefab home also comes with “L-shaped cabinets, water heater, toilet, sink, mirror, and private shower area”.
And in addition to this, there is “US standard electrical and plumbing systems, suitable for both temporary and long-term family residence.”
The home has also been designed with varying weather conditions in mind.
It is constructed with a steel frame that is said to be fire-rated Class A, wind-resistant up to level 11, and seismic up to level 9.
And to keep you toasty in winter, the home has flame-retardant foam panels for thermal insulation.
One thing to note is it’s not easy to move the home without proper transportation as it weighs 11,030 pounds.
However, it could prove to be the perfect solution for those struggling to get on the property ladder.
It could also be the ideal guest house when family comes to stay, or as a side hustle for renting out for some cash on the side.
Tiny homes have boomed in popularity in the United States over the past decade, mainly down to affordability and sustainability reasons, and the desire for minimalist living.

They offer a path to homeownership for those unable to afford larger properties or who wish to avoid debt.
Millennials and Generation X are the primary adopters of tiny homes, with the majority of tiny home dwellers being between 30 and 50 years old.
The tiny home market has grown over the past decade, and is projected to reach $23.7 billion by 2026.
What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.

A RUSSIAN nuclear bomber pilot said to be responsible for horrific aerial strikes on civilians in Ukraine has been found murdered.
The body of Dmitry Golenkov, 46, was found covered in blood in an orchard in the Bryansk region, according to Kyiv’s military intelligence.

The Tu-22M pilot had sustained multiple head wounds after he was reportedly bludgeoned to death with a hammer.
A gruesome picture of his bloodied body was released by the GUR spy agency.
Ukraine has long alleged the major was a “war criminal” for the bombing of the Amstor shopping centre in Kremenchuk on June 22, 2022 which had 1,000 people inside at the time.
Some 22 were killed, and 59 wounded.
He was also held responsible for a missile strike on a residential building in Dnipro on January 14, 2023, when 46 Ukrainian civilians were killed, including 6 children.
He had been described by Ukraine as a “future corpse”.
He flew the Tu-22M strategic bombers which are part of Russia’s nuclear strike force but which have been used for heavy bombing attacks on Ukraine during the war.
He was described as chief of staff of the aviation squadron of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment Shaikovka in Kaluga region, military unit 33310.
Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency said: “Hammer of justice – war criminal Dmitry Golenkov has been liquidated in Russia….
“The body of war criminal Dmitry Vladimirovich Golenkov was found in an apple orchard in the village of Suponevo near Bryansk in Russia.…
“The body of Russian war criminal Dmitry Golenkov was found with multiple head injuries, probably caused by a hammer.
“The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds ― there will be fair retribution for every war crime.”
Golenkov – a dad with at least two children – had been contacted by phone by a Ukrainian journalist on his role in civilian bombings.
He replied aggressively, saying: “I think that Crimea is Russia and has always been and is.”
He went on to lecture the journalist, saying Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia regions, and Crimea “are being shelled. Why don’t you ask me about this?”
He alleged: “You are probably from Ukraine. In Russia, journalists don’t ask such questions. Journalists don’t ask questions at all.”
After several attempts by the correspondent to get an answer from him about the shelling of Dnipro, Golenkov replied indignantly: “What, damn it, did I press the button or was I sitting in this plane?”
Asked if he felt sorry for the civilians slaughtered in the attack, he replied: “What people? What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
