Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Isn't Too Bad... Pity It's A Silent Hill Game, Though

[Seil]

Question: As someone who has never played a Silent Hill game, but loves Resident Evil 4 and is in the middle of enjoying Alan Wake, would you be able to recommend this or any other Silent Hill game?

I'll always recommend SH titles. That being said, it depends on what your preference is - Silent Hill is a horror title through and through. Not the physical horror slashers where you're scared of Jason or Michael, the horror where you're just plain scared. The monsters don't really help.

I'd start with SH2, it being the best in the series, in my opinion. If you decide you dun like it, try out SH4, which is slightly different in a few respects, or SH5, which has refined combat, or SH:SM because of the radically different style.

In short, there's a few different games in the series you can check out if you want to get in on the sweet, sweet Silent Hill lovin', but I understand it's not for everyone.
