JoeTheDestroyer's Silent Hill review

I really have to buy a used copy of this (and the second) sometime. It's been too long since I've played them and this review goes to the heart of why I loved them so much (this being the "fear of the unknown" and the second being more "the enemy lies within") and think they're probably the best survival horror games out there.

The first one is for sale on the PSN. Not sure about XBLA, though.

I think only PSN, as only Sony has the PSOne Classics download section.

It's not on XBLA. If it was, I'd have made it a drunk purchase at some time or another. Like I did with Symphony of the Night...even though I own the PS version. Still wondering why I did that...

Thanks, OD!

I just checked the Amazon prices. Unopened copies are running an insane price, and used ones are going for just over $22. SH2 is much cheaper.

I actually paid the around full price for this one, about $40. Mere months later, it became a "greatest hits" title.

Nice work conveying the tension of playing Silent Hill. The first game is still the only one I've played, but my memories of it are fond, if frightened, ones. My overriding memory is wrestling with the question of whether to switch my torch on and attract attention, or hide in the darkness but have no idea what I'm getting into, just disturbing sounds closing in around me.
