SILENT HILL

Well i want to talk about Silent Hill for a bit, i love the survival horror genre and this is one of the series i follow, i havn't been a fan since the beginning but i think i started at good time. I started liking it when i saw the movie in theatres. and i worked at the video store and we had silent hill four so i decided to get it and give it a try. i loved it and have been obsessed with the series since and to be a collector of the series is actually pretty cheap. so i bought the movie and couldnt find the games anywhere close to where i lived. 5 months ago i was in medicine hat and i found both silent hill 2 and 4 for xbox and claimed them as mine. i reciently bought silent hill origins and finished it last night and also recieved silent hill the original for ps1 from ebay yesterday as well, and am currently working on that. I am so facinated with the series because of the scary atmosphere and the twisted nature. The story has somewhat the same qualities throughout the games. SH: Origins is about a trucker named Travis who stumbles upon the town of silent hill and uncovers his mysterious past and discovers that when he was a boy his dad took him to Silent Hill to stay at a motel, meanwhile his dad was going through major psychological issues from the loss of his wife and later hangs himself in the room they were staying in and leaves Travis to discover his body. Travis fights his demons and saves a little girl in the meantime. SH1 and the film adaptation are almost one and the same but claim they arn't linked, i am 3 hrs into the game and have noticed many moments from the film, it makes me kinda mad cause the only differences are the characters, in the film the mother is the main character and the daughter's name is sharron and the game have the father as the main character and the daughter's name is cheryl. i dont think i will ever get hollywood. SH2 tho i havn't played more than and hour has the story of a widower getting a letter from his dead wife telling him to come to silent hill. and 3 and 4 being completely off the map for storylines. the major theme is the characters relation with silent hill and the creatures are made by the characters past in some ways. in conclusion I LOVE SILENT HILL! lol
