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.
The Ghetto Gamer has been predicting and tracking PS3 prices over the past year. The last few months have seen a massive spike in the pricing of PS3 games, and it may be too late to pick up some of the more rare and hard-to-find ones at a reasonable price. Some of these are nuts.

Again, seen this coming from the start, glad I already bought everything I wanted over the years 👌
This happens to every retro console, there's a tipping point, this is ps3's tipping point
Stil remember selling ps3 titles to buy a PS4. but i keept the ones i liked more. Did the same with the titles of the PS4 to get a PS5.
I'm glad Jim enjoyed this. He's obviously a die-hard fan of the series that likes to see Silent Hill done right. I'm guessing the release push-back did Vatra Games a lot of favours when it came to making it a tighter product.
Can't wait to pick it up.
Has Silent Hill finally returned to the good old days? God damn it's been to long.
Looks good, still wondering how the Multiplayer works.
EDIT: Ok, so thanks for the info.
The 3D in this game is awesome, makes all those mindf*** sections all the more mindf***-ey lol.
