It’s OK to admit that you’ve eaten that chocolate, and it’s OK to admit that you kind of enjoyed it.
Silent Hill: Homecoming is the coffee cream of Silent Hill games. The worst thing about that is that it’s the only Silent Hill game that’s available digitally on PC."
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.
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.
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.
Twinfinite: "They said it couldn't be done, be we've tried our best to rank all the monsters in Silent Hill according to their fear factor. Let's go!"
Pyramid Head is my #1 too, despite the fact you don't actually fight him much - and the few times you do are actually super easy. It's all in the presentation & close encounters.
I never thought the monsters themselves were very scary. It was the tension and the unknown, the silent moments that got under your skin that were the most scary to me.
Silent Hill has always been about the psychological horror more than it's gore.

I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.
I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
Silent Hill Homecoming really isn't *that* bad, I actually think it's pretty underrated. The signs were bad from the start (first western developed SH, inexperienced dev etc) however it's got a resonant, quite nuanced story. And the atmosphere's spot on. Yeah, it's not the seminal SH2, SH3 or SH but it's a very solid SH imho.
Yep played it and i thought it was quite good, also Downpour was as well. I mean they were not in the same league as Silent Hill 2 or anything but still were good games. I just wish we were getting another Silent Hill Game.
Unfortunately...it wasn't complete trash but it certainly wasn't a good Silent Hill game. I'll take it over Downpour any day of the week though.
I actually enjoyed Homecoming, I thought it was one of the better SH games after the original three.
Don't - it's bloody awful.
