I know I'm wayyyy "behind the times," so to speak, but I got a Playstation 2 for Christmas and tonight I played SILENT HILL for the first time ever (found it at a music store for $14.99 -- sweeeet).
What a game. Granted, I haven't played FATAL FRAME yet (which I hear is the best horror game *ever*, especially the second one), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that, based on the first couple hours I played tonight, SILENT HILL may be the best game of its kind I have ever played.
I was genuinely creeped out. Tense. My heart was racing, and I was sweating like a whore in church.
That doesn't happen very often to this jaded old horror fan.
Very fuckin' cool . . . .
