It's one of my loves, so it makes enough sense that I'd blather about it for a bit. ;D
To those who aren't in the know, it is a "survival horror" series.
Silent Hill was released on the PS (though there was a 'Play Novel' released on the GBA).
Silent Hill 2 was released on the PS2 (in both a regular and 'Greatest Hits' version), the Xbox, and the PC.
Silent Hill 3 was released on the PS2 and the PC.
Silent Hill 4: The Room was released on the PS2, the Xbox, and the PC.
Now! Unlike, say, Resident Evil, Silent Hill is less about "zomg monsters crashing through windows". It's more along the lines of "what the hell is going on". No matter which game you play, things become far worse than a few random zombies milling about, or blood stains on the wall. No, you might see an ordinary city street changing into a metallic grate nightmare with mummified corpses stapled to the walls. You may see what was previously a normal hotel slowly becoming flooded with excessive water damage, where one door leads to another floor and one floor leads to another area entirely. You may see a church slowly flooding with viral, twitching, spasmatic blood. And, even worse, you may see what's behind all of this.
But, hey, that's enough from me for now... what about everyone else? Any thoughts on the good ol' SH series? I wasn't able to find any matches for it here, but I was hoping that there are some people who do share the interest...!
