10 Video Games You Loved As A Teen (But Should Never Play Again)

1. Silent Hill

Horror is perhaps one of the toughest video game genres to withstand the test of time, and while the first Resident Evil is lovingly ribbed for its goofy one-liners and general silliness, that game has endured regardless because the tone was always akin to that of a schlocky B-movie.

Silent Hill, on the other hand, took itself far more seriously, and to its credit, is one of the most atmospheric horror games of its era, jam-packed with shocking body horror violence and an unpredictable, unsettling narrative.

But you're better off sitting tight with those terrifying childhood memories of playing the game, because in 2019, Silent Hill's horrendous controls and ugly graphics - namely the fog, blatantly used to cover up technical limitations - are intensely offputting.

If you're desperately craving some retro survival horror goodness, you're better off sticking with Silent Hill 2, which is basically a better game in every single respect.
