GodisaGeek: "Silent Hill: Book of Memories is a disappointment, one magnified in its severity by the potential for WayForward to take something familiar but fading and reinvigorate it, to deliver something fresh and new and compelling. As it is, Book of Memories is a bit of a mess; a game that tries so hard to wear the Silent Hill skin that it struggles to find its own identity. It’s a shame, considering the interesting, even off-the-wall premise but, perhaps not all that surprisingly, Book of Memories isn’t even a definite hit among franchise fans. Don’t avoid it completely, but approach with caution."
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.
