Sigh of relief, horror fans! Despite rumors to the contrary, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will be available this holiday season. The game, a reimagining of the first Silent Hill title, was a big hit at E3 this year, walking away with three “Best of E3″ awards in the Wii category (best overall game, best adventure game and best graphics technology).

However, despite this happy news, there might have been at least a little truth behind the rumors. The release dates of the PS2 and PSP versions of the game have yet to be announced, leading some to speculate that the much-feared delay was in reference to those versions only. Others, meanwhile, are rejoicing over the rare Wii exclusivity. Me, I’m just asking for a few pairs of new skivvies for Christmas. If I end up playing this game, I’m gonna need ‘em.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for Wii is available December 8.
