One of the tragic realities of the video game industry is that, sometimes, great ideas that everyone seems really excited about will occasionally evaporate into poisonous clouds of pure disappointment. Usually, the reasons behind this are mysterious and boring (money being a huge one), but in a few rare instances, we can chalk it up to one, simple fact: A lot of game companies are truly evil, and they feed on the misery of nerds. One such company is Konami—or at least the Konami of the last few years—which made headlines back in April when it quietly canceled Silent Hills, a much-hyped horror game starring Norman Reedus that was being designed by Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid.
