Getting into my teens and starting to read gaming magazines I was always aware of the series, its legacy and cult status. And with their accompanying CDs those magazines exposed me to a different aspect of the series — its music. Akira Yamaoka's tunes and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's powerful voice!
I still listen to the soundtrack, the songs from 2, 3, and 4. Still love them to chills! I would probably name these games' OSTs as best overall game soundtracks of all time. And I still haven't played any Silent Hill game.
Are you interested in playing them? I think the first 4 are solid.
Horror has never been my genre of entertainment, but I do plan to get the remake of 2 eventually (and of 1 when that gets out, I guess)! Wouldn't mind playing the originals, but not enough to bother with emulation, and my PS2 is far far away.
Sh2-4 have PC ports (potentially going to GOG in the future for the earlier ones). Sh4's right here and was patched to be mostlyyy fine. www.gog.com/en/game/sile...
Ah, that's nice to learn! I'll keep my eye on it, thanks
