Huge fan of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3. Been out of the game since three though. Really intrigued by how the rain can control the aggressiveness of monsters.

Bagogames4374d ago

I haven't played any since the 2nd one, I need to get back into it.

TheKindRoost4374d ago

Though still not as good as the last gen's SH,this game is a step in the right direction since this series have being handed to western devs. They're finally beginning to understand the importance of symbolism in SH games, this game would've been +1 better if it were more subtle though.

Bagogames4374d ago

Agreed. The subtle horror and atmosphere that SH2 created still sticks with me to this day, but I haven't had the chance to play Downpour yet. I only have Nathan's opinion to go on, would you say it's worth a play?

TheKindRoost4374d ago (Edited 4374d ago )

it's def worth a play if for any sh fan.

Ramas4374d ago

i completed downpour 3 times, super good game and music is good even without that japanese guy.

Bagogames4374d ago

Never thought I would hear the day Licht would get praise for a SH game. Alright, you've sold me. I'll give it a crack and see what I think.

Ramas4373d ago

when you complete game, watch credits till the end and lisen to music, i havent had such a cool feeling when i completed game for many years.

Kos-Mos4374d ago

Starting an article with "Okay, so Silent Hill has been around like since forever right? (But not really.)" is a proof a horrible journalist. Journalist I say? It`s just a blog from a kid.

Bagogames4373d ago

*Isn't the author, it was a joke and sorry about that stick up your ass.

TheMutator4373d ago

the best thing happened to silent hill was silent hill 2 period!!!

Bagogames4373d ago

If we could the full title would have been "The best thing that could have happened to Silent Hill today," but we're working on a character budget. At least I'm not going mad and someone else thinks Silent Hill 2 is THAT damn good, so thanks.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26175d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake175d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69174d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26174d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

PS3 Prices Have Officially Exploded (and they’re not done)

The Ghetto Gamer has been predicting and tracking PS3 prices over the past year. The last few months have seen a massive spike in the pricing of PS3 games, and it may be too late to pick up some of the more rare and hard-to-find ones at a reasonable price. Some of these are nuts.
