The immense sense of disappointment following Amy’s critical savaging has highlighted the ongoing frustration felt by neglected survival-horror fans. Similarly aggrieved, Mark Butler argues that the current lack of mainstream horror games is not just infuriating – but downright tragic.
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
Like any console, not every release was going to be a hit, and the PS3 certainly had its fair share of stinkers.
turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.
Haze is a bad game but Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty makes it seem like a captivating work of art. haha. Fuck that game
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails isn't on this list but it might be the worst game I've ever played. I got it as a present from my mam and when I saw the box, my life flashed before my eyes thinking of the Metacritic score: https://www.metacritic.com/...
I also received Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty as a present from another family member. Bless their hearts for trying but ... oh Lord. My uncle gave my Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time and MGS2 though. 😎
Was it really that bad? I recall trying the demo and not liking it, but that's just me not liking FPS games.
People I know who played it and like FPS games mostly came to the conclusion that it has a lot of room for improvement, but it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.
Don't know, my opinion on these games should be taken with a grain of salt.
Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).
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.
With The Last Of Us, Silent Hill Downpour and the HD collection coming up, it actually ain't looking too bad. I'm hoping for these games to succeed so more devs will jump on the bandwagon. Who knows, maybe a new Resident Evil will be announced at E3.
Until then I play Fatal Frame PS2 which I backtracked a copy of to recover from the shock that was AMY. And damn, it's a pretty awesome game!
When I clicked on this I was thinking the Kevin Smith movie, but no... just Amy.
Yeah the person that wrote this article is right. Is a shame really that there isn't enough true survival horror games not action games with horror themes. The last of us could either end up like dead space or it could go like Amnesia Dark Descent. Most likely will end up like dead space. Its a genre that I still don't get why game developers or publishers are not exploring. Now Dead Island can get scary sometimes umm but it can be funny depending with who you are playing................
I agree with the article, is just soo true that I purchase "Amy" because the lack of horror games. Amy is disappointing, just have to wait for Silent Hill Downpour in March.
I wish TECMO listen to us and revisit Fatal Frame series.
