The Gaming Vault: "Silent Hill: Book of Memories is a game that has been fighting an uphill battle since it was announced. Silent Hill loyalists cried that it wasn’t a game that was faithful to the Silent Hill name and it signaled the end of the series or that Silent Hill was dead. All this was said without ever even playing the game themselves.
Those people are irrational, judgmental, and kinda dumb.
I will say for sure that Book of Memories does not ruin the name or the legacy of the Silent Hill franchise. Book of Memories is not a horrible Silent Hill game. But I can also say that Silent Hill: Book of Memories is a total dick of a game…"
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.
Ouch.
A crappily executed shift to a hack and slash dungeon crawler? Great Scott, whatever's next? A shoddy HD conversion of Zone of the Enders?
Oh wait...
