    I'm SUPER-excited for the HD collection.
    Not sure how I feel about downpour, though :P
    I may rent it, but not sure if it'll be worth a buy

    Yeah, I'm not sure about Downpour. It looks oookay, but I'll wait until more reviews come out. Plus, I have so many other things to play (ie: Mass Effect 3), but I can't just yet because I'm super busy. D:

    Silent Hill fan since '99 here :)

    I'm definitely excited about Downpour but cant say I'm too thrilled about the water theme.

    My Ranking:
    1. Silent Hill - What can I say pure perfection. The atmosphere and cryptic nature of the game was at its peak here.

    2. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - Amazingly poignant story, very surprising yet functional twist. The ending made me a bit weepy :(

    3. SH 2 - The atmosphere here was much more subdued than the first one but the story is top notch. Pyramid Head!

    4. SH 3 - Loved that they got back to blood, grit and rust themes. Heather was a cool protagonist but the game had too much exposition. Urban exploration severely limited compared to first two games. Best joke ending in the series though.

    5. Homecoming - Not as bad as many make it out to be but not great either.

    6. Origins - Get to explore the streets of Silent Hill again (yay). Game was too short and story was utterly pointless. Some cool, creepy locations though.

    7. The Room - Totally disown this one. It's a hot mess from top to bottom. The story is very interesting but its just not a Silent Hill game.

    I agree, but I felt the same about Homecoming.
    Homecoming kinda felt more like a Resident Evil than a Silent Hill...

    Always been a huge Silent Hill fan since I was 9! But The Room is my favorite because I actually beat it, the story and the soundtrack I really love the soundtrack!

    Agreed about the soundtrack, esp Your Rain and Room of Angel. Probably the best in the series next to Shattered Memories.

    Those were my thoughts, too.

    I wish they could have done a remake of the first Silent Hill for the newer gen consoles.
    My life would be complete :p

    SH3 was my favorite. I will probably rent Downpour. I have too many games going on right now. Skyrim, Space Marines, ME3....

    See, I want to get my hands on the collection and Downpour, buuuut I'm one of those gamers who (embarrassingly enough) gets too panicky or scared to finish certain scary games. I couldn't bring myself to play many of the older Silent Hill games, so I just got my kicks from sitting back and watching others play it.

    Well THIS time around, I may try to grow a pair of 'brass'uns' and go for it. I mean a friend of mines actually got me to sit down and play Shattered Memories---as short and ..well.. different as that version was from the originals (still thoroughly enjoyed the near panic attacks it gave me though). In any case, I'll see. I REALLY want to get into it.
