Film Grain

[Blix]

The only two games that I remember having film grain are Silent Hill 2 and House of the Dead: Overkill. It didn't bother me with either game. In HOTD: Overkill it was really cool because it was supposed to be based on the 70s or so. The game poked fun of this fact by making sure that you knew it was "in color." I like it overall. In Silent Hill it was ok because part of what made Silent Hill's atmosphere was how unclean everything looked in the game. Specially Silent Hill 2 had graphics that were slightly better than PS1's graphics. I remember thinking the polygon models and stuff weren't that great back when the game first came out and that's saying much. Silent Hill 3 had the same effect and it was still ok. I guess it depends mostly on the atmosphere of the game and what they're aiming for.
