GamingTrend writes: "Silent Hill: Origins tells the story of a trucker named Travis who just happens to be traveling near the town of Silent Hill when he spots a little girl on the highway and slams on his breaks. When the little girl runs off into the fog, Travis decides to do what we all would do in that situation and investigates. This leads Travis to unquestionably battle zombie nurses and huge scary guys with pyramids on their heads rather than run back to his truck. It also sets off the so called Origin of the Silent Hill games.
Since its release on the original Playstation, the Silent Hill series has seen several sequels across multiple platforms and has even seen a feature film adaptation. In 2007 Konami released the first PSP Silent Hill game with Silent Hill Origins. The PSP version received moderate reviews and for many people it went down as just another entry in the Silent Hill franchise."
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
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.
