10 Awesome Video Games That Are Terrible Now

10. Silent Hill

When Resident Evil burst on to the scene in 1996, people tore it to shreds over its shonky voice acting. Yet when Silent Hill did it some three years later, people were... oddly okay with it? Like Resi had set some kind of bar and that was fine.

Yet looking back, it's easy to see why people forgave Silent Hill. It brought some genuine terror to the genre, whilst Resi had diverged into more action-based territory. But what made the first Silent Hill good then is nothing special now.

There's a reason the sequel is considered to be the best one: Konami took it seriously, adding real emotion to the characters and depth to their stories.

Comparatively, Harry Mason sounds almost annoyed in the search for his missing daughter, let alone terrified. Even the local police officer, Cybil Bennett, sounds like she couldn't give a monkey's about your lost child.

Again, much like Resident Evil, it should be seen as a rough template of what their respective series' would go on to do.

As a standalone entry though, it's not aged well.
