Silent Hill 2 is synonymous with the survival horror genre, widely considered to be one of the most brilliant and thought-provoking horror masterpieces in the medium due to its now-iconic monster designs, psychological tricks, and twisted storytelling. Anyone who has played the original PlayStation 2 version released back in 2001 can easily see why. Someone who only played the "HD" re-release for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 might not, and that's why this game is in such dire need of a PC port - it deserves a chance at redemption. The Silent Hill series has gotten a pretty terrible reputation in the West, with the only entry into the franchise on Steam being Silent Hill: Homecoming, a game which should not be representative of the once-revered gaming icon. The Silent Hill HD Collection is widely considered to be the most botched HD collections of all time, with critics citing its myriad of bugs and changes to the core experience - including alterations to the original script and a re-cast of the voice actors - as fatal flaws undermining one of the greatest games ever made. PC has seen its fair share of bad ports as well, especially from Japan. However, these can be rectified by the community in no time at all, as modder Durante has demonstrated. On PC, a shameful lack of developer support isn't necessarily cause to worry, because the community can do the job they're too cheap and/or lazy to do. If released on PC, Silent Hill 2 could be every bit as botched as the console collection, and it would still see relative stability by the end of the week.
