G4TV: There's no question that Silent Hill is among the most influential horror series of all time. The creeped-out atmosphere of the demon-haunted town has burrowed into the consciousness of just about everyone who played any of the games, and the franchise’s languid pace and focus on slow-creep as opposed to quick shocks has influenced many a horror game over the last decade.
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.
It doesn't sound like Silent Hill at all to me. I really hope it's good; Silent Hill is one of my favorite game franchises of all time.
@ Kyo Harry Mason Lives! ;)
Makes me sad watching my favourite franchise being turned
into absolute s***
played the demo at eurogamer and it was so so terrible.
I'm NOT a silent hill fan. Never was. And as such, I'm not able to see what fans of the series are complaining about. The game seems awesome to me - atmosfere, suspense, horror, breakable weapons, limit inventary, nice graphics... whats so wrong with it anyway? Its an honest question, not an critcism.
