At Konami's NYC Media Tour, VGM had the opportunity to sit down and play Konami's latest iteration of their survival horror franchise Silent Hill, titled Silent Hill: Homecoming. They had high hopes that the franchise could bounce back from 2006's subpar Silent Hill movie, and judging by what they saw, Silent Hill is definitely back.
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.

I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.
I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
the guy says this is the first silent hill since SH3.. what happened to number 4 then?? lol.
Either way im looking forward to this title and it sounds good from the preview... even if the bloke has no idea.
...looks like a PS2 title. And yeah...the guy who wrote this article is a moron...and I registered, to let him know it. :o
ha ha nice one.
Why do these news posts use the oldest screen shots? Its gonna make some one think this game is really ugly. Well here is a super sexy new screen.
With a gross avatar, and a dumba$$ comment. WOW you fail sir.
this game looks great though, I love the physics and the new enemy AI. Besides screenshots NEVER do the game justice. And have you looked at past SH hill games? they look worse than the new NEXT GEN version.
