gamrReview: "My playthrough was short but after I put the Vita down and really gave it some thought I realised I really liked what the folks at WayForward are putting together here. The game may not echo the past entries in the series very much but what it does bring to the table it does quite well."
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.

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.
Honestly, I'd add Lords of Shadow 2 to the list. That was a huge disappointment.
As much as I love the Silent Hill series especially the original, I also like diablo-style gameplay so I'm definitely giving this chance.
I'm willing to give it a go, simply because the last three staple entries in the series (The Room, Homecoming and Downpour) have been awful, so the premesis might be stale. A completly new direction might work wonders for the series.
I hadn't heard much about this at all; I'd written it off, and assumed they were sending it out to die. Nice to hear positive things about it though.
This actually sounds pretty awesome!
October 1st? Sign me up!
Silent HIll RPG? no thanks....but seeing as how Silent Hill hasn't been good since SH2 (with the exception of Shattered Memories) I don't care at this point
