Silent Hill 4: The Room

The last great SH game

It was a nice surprise to find this game here; I first played it back in high school in 2004, and was blown away by the atmosphere, which still holds up very well today. It's different from the first 3 games, but still an outstanding horror with some profoundly unsettling imagery, i.e the woman swinging back and forth above the spiral staircase. I've always felt this was the last Silent Hill game that was worth playing; everything that came after was just a watered down, poor attempt at replicating the greatness of Team Silent, not to mention those godawful Hollywood films they made, that absolutely dragged the Silent Hill name through the mud. This may not be the best of the original 4 titles, but it is definitely worth playing, and still has plenty to offer. I only hope GOG adds SH 1,2 and 3 next; and by that I mean the original versions of the first 3 games, I don't want those crappy re-voiced, so called "HD" remasters that were released a few years back. My hopes of ever seeing another high quality Silent Hill title have long since vanished, but I would like to have a working collection of the original 4 games on PC. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
