Mike Katsufrakis: "It would appear that somebody at Konami had gotten the memo about 2012 being the official Year of the Action RPG. As such, they've enlisted the mercenary capabilities of Wayfoward and tasked them with turning beloved survival horror series Silent Hill into an isometric Action RPG. The result, Silent Hill: Book of Memories stands before us, promising co-op goodness. Is it a horrible amalgamation of two disparate genres, or a brilliant experiment with the formula?"
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
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.
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.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

The Silent Hill series has been around for a long time, and there have been nine main releases since its inception. It's time to rank all of them from worst to best.
The announcement of Metal Gear Survive is just another step on Konami's long, long path in screwing up their own videogames.
