Silent Hill


Organized Chaos

Recommended Posts

[center]Honestly my favourite game series of all time. I just love how the protagonists don't face demons or zombies. Instead they face parts of themselves, personified by the dark past of the town. Whether it is all just a figment of their destroyed minds or whether there is a misty town full of demons, it's just a great series.[/center]

My personal favourite would have to be Silent Hill 2 (The story is fantastic, the monsters are actually quite scary, all the locations have a feeling of isolation which I really like, the characters are believable, the endings are also quite disturbing and of course the lovable Pyramid Head who ended up being my imaginary friend for the best part of 5 years of my childhood) or Shattered Memories (I love the ice theme of the game, I like how the game 'plays you as much as you play it' and the actual psychology about it, the Raw Shocks are creepy yet I feel somewhat sorry for them, I like the fact that there is no combat as it makes for a very interesting and challenging game, the storyline again is amazing and I just really like how psychology is deeply rooted into the game, people who have seen the ending will know what I mean.)

The music of the game is just DIVINE. It's so great, it literally makes you feel the emotions emanating from the song of choice. Laura's Theme (Silent Hill 2) is my favourite song simply because it sounds awesome yet conveys the sense of loneliness and doubt that is throughout the game. Hell Frozen Rain (Silent Hill Shattered Memories) is also amazing, the vocals are fantastic and again, works with the theme of it's game, this song dealing with denial and memories. Akira Yamaoaka is a genius and without his ideas, the games just wouldn't be the same as the music sets the scene and emphasizes details and secrets that you never would have thought of.

Discuss.
And apologies for long OP. I love this series and have so much to say about it.[/center]
