There is beauty in the way you live and thrive despite it all...

I played through the original long ago and hardly remembered much of it and I have played Silent Hill 3 twice. After playing this again and having it fresh in my mind I can say this is by far the best in the series and definitely my favorite at this time. Being creeped out when I was so little watching my uncle play it to experiencing it now that I am 29 and still getting freaked out at times really is a testament to what kind of experience this game is capable of.

The masterpiece of a fearful and emotional entanglement this game brings in such a way is a torment filled dance you surely won't comprehend completely on your first playthrough. The best Horror games or games in general that that stay in your mind hours and days after it is over and keep you thinking are truly one of the best feelings in my opinion.

The deep details and creativity in the environments and psychological puzzles and inclusion of characters you will learn about in later installments of this series is a really interesting form of storytelling Team Silent has created at their prime and I deeply wish to this day they were still the wonderful team they were and not just remnants of the past.

Now I will definitely have to play some more of these again as they always grab ahold of me in the best way. I am kind of worried to how the remake will be, but I am hoping for the best although I don't see how you top the original especially with the experience it brings. If you have not played this game yet I cannot recommend this enough, definitely one of those play before you die type of games that solidifies itself in the genre of perfect horror games.

Pyramid Head belongs to this entry and the fact they use him in other installments feels so off especially now that I see the imagery and semblance he brings to James' judgement and conviction. Wish they would have just made a unique character that did the same thing for each protagonist's struggle.

There's no way the bloopers down at Blooper Team have any chance of making that Remake worth a damn. Sad days!
