The games industry is filled with a ton of promising and financially lucrative IPs, and as such fans are accustomed to getting sequels to their favourite games. However, prequels are less popular – but much like sequels, they do vary wildly in quality. To that effect, here are 13 of the most divisive single-player prequels of all time.

God of War: Ascension

God of War: Ascension showcases the story of series protagonist Kratos as he fights all those who oppose him for breaking his blood oath to Ares. While the game is considered a great one by many, others thought that the QTE heavy combat and the over-the-top violence that catapulted the series to great heights at one point were now becoming stale and required a major rethinking going forward.

Silent Hill 1 – The Final Boss Will Die Automatically Provided You Have No Ammo At All

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Silent Hill: Origins, two Silent Hill games that were made available on the PSP, are now available on the PSN Store in Europe, for £7.99 each.

Both the games, which presented players with a significant departure from how the series usually plays thanks to both of them presenting innovative twists to how they played out, should let players see the Silent Hill series from a very different perspective- Shattered Memories, which presents a retelling of the first game in the series (and is also available on Wii and PS2), is clearly the superior game of the two, but Origins, which acts as a prequel to the franchise, isn’t bad either.

Both games are available to download for the PS Vita over the PSN Store. For now, they only seem to be available in Europe, with no appearance in the US yet planned or intimated, but we will keep you posted regardless.

PS Vita Getting Silent Hill: Origins and Shattered Memories

Konami has announced that the PSP Silent Hill games Origins and Shattered Memories are both heading to the PS Vita in the form of digital re-releases. Both the survival horror games will cost £7.99 each, but Konami haven’t yet announced any specific date for the release of them both.

Shattered Memories and Origins have a special place in the hearts of all Silent Hill fans, but for different reasons. Origins is not as good as you’d want a Silent Hill game to be, but it’s a prequel to the very first Silent Hill title, so obviously it’s important. Shattered Memories, on the other hand, is just recognised for being a great game and one of the best in the series.

“Flaws aside, the game is an intense few hours to play all the same, and as long as you don’t expect the game to compete with the second or third Silent Hill games, you’ll enjoy yourself a fair amount,” we wrote in our review of the Wii version of the game. You can read our review here.
