My First Silent Hill Experience
Ravec999 | 3:57 PM on 01.24.2009 3 comments




My friend’s would not stop talking about Silent Hill 2. I wanted them to stop, but alas they would not. Finally I
mustered up the strength to go ahead and made my way over to his house. The main idea here is I did not
know what I was in for. From the moment I stepped out of the bathroom, to the first time I seen pyramid head
in the hotel, my jaw was dropped in awe, and my body tense. The psychological perversion and matter in
that game forever changed the way that I viewed survival horror. The symbolism used to me was the
deepest story effect I had ever seen. *SPOILERS*

When Eddie continuously killed people and things and denied it. Maria’s random death and rebirth. The game
was an emotional rollercoaster I was in no way prepared for. Plus when you’re in the bathroom and the stall
bumps. I screamed like a little girl.

*SPOILERS END* I never believed my friends when they called it one of the greatest games created of
all
time. I didn’t want to believe them, and then it happened. Silent Hill 2 left me significantly scarred and wanting
more. Ever since I have been in love with the series and can’t get enough. And that’s about it.

I love horror games, but I could never get into Silent Hill. I tried 2, 3, and 4, but none of them scared me at all. Don't know, I guess it's just preference.

Silent Hill may be good for messing with your mind, and I love it for that. My favorite memory was actually from the first game. The gradual degradation of Silent Hill from desolate, foggy town to macabre, industrial nightmare will stay with me forever. In it's essence: Tornado/Emergency Sirens.

I still think the meat and gravy of survival horror is the early Resident Evils. That game just mastered item management and ammo conservation.
