Up Next: Silent Hill

The Silent Hill series is among my favorites. I started playing the series at SH2 and continued on from there, playing through most of the games, but I quickly found that Silent Hill 1 had become somewhat rare and a bit of collectors item, usually selling for around 50-60 bucks on ebay for a used copy. Then one day I found a brand new, sealed copy in Blockbuster for 10 bucks. I instantly jumped on it, but I never beat it.

I feel like my last save on my memory card was really close to the end, but I'd like to play through it again. Most SH games are only around 6 hours anyway, so it's not too bad.

I'm looking forward to this one. I absolutely adore the Silent Hill games. They are terrifying in a I'm-still-scared-after-I-turn-off-the-TV kind of way. They play with your mind and your anticipation of things unseen. Monsters are replaced by mood music and sound effects in many cases, keeping you on the farthest edge of your seat at all times.

Let's hit it - Silent Hill for PS1.
