Later games in the franchise were never quite able to live up to it, although Silent Hill 2's legacy has ensured that it's repeatedly near the top of 'best games ever' lists. Silent Hill 2 is all about James Sunderland and his journey around the titular town, which has been overtaken by a mysterious fog filled with monstrous, deformed creatures and deadly terrors. Sunderland was drawn to the town after receiving a letter from his deceased wife, who claims to be waiting for him there.

Later, it's revealed that Sunderland's guilt actually comes from the fact that he killed his wife. She was terminally ill, and it's left unclear as to whether it was an act of mercy, or out of unbridled resentment. What video game reveals or twists have blown you away? Are there any we missed out?
