I left school in June of 2002 and went to work in a shop called Comet, the next month. I used my earnings to save up for a GameCube. The highlight of 2002 by far was buying the remake. I then played Silent Hill for the first time soon afterwards, and tracked down other horror games. My interest for the series never really waned much, until a few years ago, when I realized that Capcom was kind of stuck in a rut on where to go next. Now there's hope for the series again. I do think The Last of Us is much better than the recent sequels, though, but I don't know if I want that to become a big franchise, because then what usually happens is they get daft ideas. Sorry, I'll pass on that.
