Rating: 89

Often credited as the best horror game of all time, it's a little surprising to see Silent Hill 2 this far down the list. Still, regardless of comparisons with other titles, it's clear that Silent Hill 2 is a phenomenal game.

With a hefty focus on psychological horror and metaphor, a Silent Hill game is never a pleasant experience. Silent Hill 2 is absolutely terrifying but it's the intricately woven story and thought-provoking atmosphere which really won fans over.

Whether it's through the shocking revelations of the storyline or the haunting fog of the titular town, Silent Hill 2 will definitely leave a mark on the player.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
