Resident Evil or Silent Hill?

In terms of creating the mood of horror and give more of that fear factor, I'd say Silent Hill is better franchise.

In terms of more refined gameplay and action, I'd say Resident Evil is better franchise.

I think it all depends on your personal preference. Both franchise's 5th game will be released on both Xbox 360 and PS3 so no need to worry about that here.

Personally, I'd say screw them both and give me Fatal Frame series.

Resident Evil.

ZOMBIES!

Silent Hill is the only game that has EVER scared the bujesus out of me. Silent Hill 2 and 3 are actually on my top 10 games of all time list. I'm also a HUGE fan of Akira Yamaoka's work on the series, especially the music. I have all the CD's and the Special DVD and the hard to find schawg "Robbie Rabbit t-shirt" :D

Well SH1 and RE1 are both great but RE was groundbreaking for it's time, SH had a great debut too.

RE2 and SH2 are the peak of both series...when you talk about the best survial horror games ever made it's a toss-up between RE2 and SH2.

Once you get past 2 RE has the advantage. Another interesting thing though is both RE3 and SH3 started to really rehash enviornments...but all in all imo RE3 is a moderate step down from 2 while SH3 is a massive drop-off from 2

RE4 and SH4 aren't even on the same plane, although SH4 is worth checking into due to the superior story.

Id say Resident Evil. I just love everything about the series. I agree with gamingqueen, Silent Hill is more scary than the RE series, but in terms of gameplay etc. Its poor.VinnoT

Thanks.. Thoguh some are exagerrating when telling SH had a great story. The story was fine butit wasn't that great! And the thing which made it fine that it was confusing and required you to beat the game and sometimes even after finishing the game you won't get it.

Well compared to RE stories, SH stories look like masterpiece.

RE provides really poor quality of story in their game.

Well compared to Fatal Frame series, they both suck lol

I'd go with RE. But I haven't played All the games in the Silent Hill series
