Silent Hill 3

I played through Silent Hill 2 sometime last year, and while at the time I was no overly impressed with it (as it was pretty hyped), I often found myself thinking about it afterwards and it really grew on me. Shortly after getting through SH2 I started Silent Hill 3, got about 1.5 hours into and it stopped playing, I don't remember why but I did.

Two-ish days ago I picked it back up, for no particular reason. I was in the mood for something scary and current-gen games just don't scare me as much as SH2, or 3 for that matter do.


Wanted to throw a screenshot up but most are pretty gory and whatnot, but hell its a SH game. For anyone not familiar with the series, you spent practically all of your time wandering around in complete darkness (save a flash light that illuminates 1.5 feet in front of you). Scenery ranges from dark, dilapidated buildings to horror scared amusement parks. Often, once you spend some time in an area, you will black out and wind up on the other side of Silent Hill. Once that happens, the mood shifts from darkness, to blood and rust stained darkness. Monsters are more grotesque, every area is drenched in blood.

Its been a while since a game has actually put me on edge like a Silent Hill game does, hell I even get a sicking, sick feeling when I know that something that might just put me out of my misery is lurking around the corner.

Check it out =D
