1. Silent Hill 2
Was there really any doubt? James Sunderland receives a letter from his dead wife, insisting that shes alive and waiting for him in their special place. James traverses the town meeting more yet equally distressed characters, but its how the writers weave all of their unsettling and downright disgusting past into a story intricately and subtlety based on sex, rape, and murder. The games central executioner antagonist Pyramid Head stalks James every step of the way as the narrative builds towards mind-bending twists laced with unnerving themes. Taboo doesnt even begin to describe some of the scenarios found in this iconic masterpiece where every character, enemy, scene, and item is stuffed with symbolism. The original score by Akira Yamoaka is also the greatest soundtrack in all of gaming.
