What's up with me, the games I'm playing, the world.

  Silent Hill

  I doubt anybody will be reading this, but whatever. I'm currently playing Silent Hill 4 and an idea ocurred to me: Silent Hill is the best videogame series ever. Most people won't agree, but it's just made for me. The tension, the eerie atmosphere and, that's the best of it, the fact it's supernatural and it doesn't explain itself. That's where SH succeeds where Resident Evil does not (I do like Resident Evil very much, I'm a big fan, but I'm just making a point). Even in the fourth game, we're still figuring out why the events of the first game happened in the first place, there's still plenty of Silent Hill even if the actual adventure is outside the town... It's simply perfect, I can't put it into words. The first one wasn't the best game graphically, but it had a story and scary moments like no other PlayStation game. The second game had an even better story than its predecessor, awesome graphics and great characters - an unforgettable adventure. Unfortunately, Konami hasn't released Silent Hill 3 for the GameCube (I heard they almost released it on the Nintendo platform) or the Xbox (can't understand why the second and the fourth are here and the third is not), so I didn't play it, no opinion on it yet. I'm currently playing the fourth, as I said, and I'm in the Apartment World, loving it. I love the fact that every piece can be put together, nothing's there for no reason. Plus there's a movie coming out, I really hope they won't screw this up like Uwe Boll did with Alone In The Dark, a tradicional horror game which I also greatly enjoyed - all I can do is pray. Silent Hill is still too underrated, not as popular as Resident Evil (which had 'good' movies, but I don't want Silent Hill to be a good movie, I want it to be a 'jaw-dropping' flick)... I'll be forever in love with this town. I hope Konami releases Silent Hill 5 something for the Xbox 360.
