Silent Hill Origins: Turn off the lights and plug in the headphones
Discover how the town of Silent Hill became a town of horror.
"Silent Hill Origins is the first true Silent Hill title to arrive on the PSP and it carries all the aspects of the previous console incarnations. Origins tries to give gamers the a better understanding of the original happening behind Silent Hill and what caused all the horror to occur in the once peaceful town. Silent Hill Origins introduces Travis Grady, a truck driver who just so happens to be suffering from insomnia and some other problems. Sadly, he decides to pass through Silent Hill on his way to another small town to save himself some time but as he approaches Silent Hill he sees a young girl cross the highway. Upon seeing this he slams on his breaks and decides to look around for the girl he saw on the highway. Unfortunately for him, he has been dragged into the horror that is Silent Hill."
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.
Looking forward to playing this for a while now.
I already got my hands on it and beat it... It's very short. I have a review on my blogsite, actually. It was a good game, but it wasn't great. IT's very, very, very, very short... I mean, very short.

Oh, yeah... it's short. 2 hours my 1st time thru, a tad over... 2:07 to be exact. Their is an ending here that requiers you to beat it in 59:59, though. So, that speaks volumes, doesn't it? I mean, if they want you to beat the game in under 1 hour, something's wrong. It's a good game, though. If you have a psp, head phones and a long dark car trip ahead of you... Take it with you. It's swesome... until you have to stop for gas, cause by the time you have to you'll have already beat it. "ha"
the game left the lights off cause it sucks!!!
great game completed it yesterday it took me five hours, excellent game
if you have a psp i highly recommend, graphics are nearly on par with ps2 versions and has an excellent atmosphere, will be replaying it to see if theres some different endings.
