Silent Hill 2 - G4's #1 Scariest Game of All Time
Did anyone else catch today's episode of X-Play?
After the most hilarious parody I've ever seen on the show involving the Saw series, Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb placed Silent Hill 2 at the top of the most terrifying games list, beating out games like Fatal Frame II, System Shock 2, Resident Evil 4, and Clock Tower.
I'm glad television finally gave Silent Hill 2 the award it deserves.

imo, SH1 is a lot scarier than SH2.

It depends on your perception.Amy wrote:I realllly don't get that.
How is it scarier?
Silent Hill 2 is eerie, but Silent Hill 1 makes you very tense.
SH1 is scary no matter how many times I go through it; SH2 makes me uncomfortable, but doesn't scare me in the same way.
Great episode of X-Play, though.

SH2 isn't that scary for me, but I love it for the story. SH1 to me is crude and, as Hjartu put it, tense. I can't really describe how I find SH1 scarier than SH2, but I just do

I believe that Silent Hill 3 is the strongest in terms of all out fright factor. In fact, in the making of documentary, the creators specifically state that Silent Hill 2 was meant to instill a sense of unease; disturbance. They created Silent Hill 3 to be in your face terror..which I find it to be, much more so than any other Silent Hill game. I found Silent Hill 2 to be extremely unpleasent and Silent Hill 1 to be offsetting..Silent Hill 4 had next to no fright factor for me.
