You know you're going to be in Silent Hill when a game opens up with a warning screen that says, "Some parts of this game may be considered cruel and violent." Uh-huh. It's Silent Hill" Game Informer recently had the opportunity to get a hands-on look at Silent Hill Origins for the PSP. From what they have witnessed so far, even though the horrific style of game is shrunken down to the PSP, it's going to still creep you out.
"The kicker was that even though the game was on a much smaller screen, our hands sweated and heart pounded as if we were playing a full-on entry in the series"
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.
ive just started playing the verry first silent hill game again, i want to get through them all before the next gen version arrives, best games ever!
Not really the type of game that I would buy, but this is definately going to help PSP sales. PSP has really gotten my attention lately. I'm still waiting for the best selling Lumines game which was #1 at Amazon for one day.

Picked one up so my dad can play hot shoots golf since he loves playing those games and taking them to the bathroom.
I think picked up Infected and death Jr. Im a huge zombie fan and death jr had a cool art style.
Both games i really didnt enjoy infected looked ugly and death jr. was ok at best.
HOWEVER this one Silent Hill Origins. I will get this game since im a nut for Silent Hill. I also agree Fatal Frame rocks. I just wish part 3 was out for Xbox either 1 or 360.
this game series, but i might start with this one and pic the others later if i like this one
