    Classically scary...

    What I remember about this game is the "ringing silence" that still creeps me out...I love scary stuff but I never thought that this game would haunt me for real! I just witnessed this from my cousins house being played by my uncle, and this game was one of his favorites...He told us one day that he tried to play this at midnight, alone in the living room with all lights out and the only thing that was running was his PS and the T.V. with a medium volume...about 2:30am, he heard a scratching sound that came somewhere in the kitchen..getting closer and closer to the living room where he is...so he paused the game, listened carefully, waited cautiously...until he could no longer bare the eerie feeling, he immediately rushed towards the switch of the light and lit almost the entire room! Hahahahaha...never knew he'd freak out a bit because of this genius masterpiece! Silent Hill totally rocks! ( >_< ) \m/ 
    By the way, my uncle just can't get enough of this game so he's still playing it up to now... XD

      The dark realism and murky atmosphere make this a great game. 0

      During the Playstation era of video games, Konami created an array of classic titles for just about every gamer. For the person who loved complex plots and Hollywood production values, there was Metal Gear Solid; for the RPG gamer, there was Suikoden; for the gamer who wanted a good story and fun non-linear gameplay, there was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Silent Hill is no exception; by improving the foundation set by Resident Evil, it became one of the most memorable survival horror game...
