I was a fan ever since playing Silent Hill on PS1. I thought Resident Evil was creepy back then, Silent Hill made it look like a Disney movie. I had SH 2 on the PS2 and that was just as disturbing. The last one I played was SH 4 and that was just as bad, in a good way though. Those damn ghost just won't die unless you stuck them with special short swords which was hard to find. SH is great for playing at night with the surround sound on. Creepy factor is +20. But like any other games, I suggest you rent them first. Its very survival horror.
