    Hey there folks, I've been looking around the PSN for some spooktacular games to play this Halloween, and I saw that the original Silent Hill is available. So I was wondering two things, one being, how good is the PS3 version of this game, and secondly, if I wanted to get into Silent Hill, is this the game I should start with or is there another installment that's better for a Silent Hill beginner?

    Silent Hill is good but it has aged very poorly. The visuals are very difficult to tolerate and the controls are clunky. Having said that it has a powerful atmosphere and is the origin point for the series if you are looking to try any of the others. Silent Hill 2 would be a perfectly fine title to play as well though, and is completely stand alone from the first game....

    I love Silent Hill 1, it's one of my favourite games period. But I doubt'll hold up to newcomers so I suggest starting with Silent Hill 2, to me it always felt like a remake of Silent Hill 1 anyway and it tells a more cohesive story (if there is such a thing within the Silent Hill universe). Maybe get the HD collection but from the QL it wasn't a great version? Don't know about if it ever got patched to sort out the frame rate issues.

    I've never played any of them, but the general consensus seems to be that you should play 2 and then don't worry about the rest of them.
