    I've not got a console, but I know that Three and Four are out on the PC, what about the others? Which one's the best as well? I hear 3 is the dog's bollocks. I've played a bit of the first one but it was awhile ago and I don't remember a great deal, one of those games series I've never really got round to checking out...

    I've only played 1 and 4, and 1 was the best of those two. 4 has its moments and I still enjoyed it, but it was never quite as frightening and the environment wasn't as interesting.

    I have never played any silent hill nor resident evil game, but some movies are pretty scary.

    Res Evil 4 really is the defining point of the series. I've been a fan of the games since day 1, but Res Evil 4 has done an incredible job of wowing both long time players and newcomers/dislikers of the series.

    Silent Hill isn't particularly wonderful from the off, but if you persevere a little and go through some areas such as the school or hospital, it can get pretty freaky. It was, at the time a really twisted and frightening experience, far more so than the rather tame RE games. The focus on melee weapons made everything feel that bit more intense and threatening too.

    Gameplay wise 4 is defining, but its story and characters (aside from leon and Ada, obviously) are rubbish compared to the untouchable RE2 and REmake.

    I love all the Silent Hills, so maybe this is a bit biased, but they're all pretty damn good. 2 is easily the best; its story carries better than many movies for Pete's sake, while 4 brings a fantastic (and fucking scary) fresh perspective to the series.

    You should see some parts of 2, 3 and 4. SH1 is an innocent summer walk compared!

    Well if its not out yet its not coming out I'm sure. Silent Hill 4 has been released on the PC, so if (like on the Xbox) they missed out 3 I wouldn't think it would make an appearance later.

    I have only played SH 1 and although it wasnt so scary and monsters were dumb it was cool. Level design was really good for a psx game.

    Im a big RE fan. I really loved RE3. Nemesis was sorta annoying but the game was very entertaining and the story was superb (the movies sucked tho). Im not a zombie games/movies fan but I always digged RE's style, maybe because it mixes some elements from cyberpunk (big corporation ruling everything), great atmosphere and great music, and of course great graphics (ok they were pre-rendered but they were awesome on the psx).

    It was released last year I think, but it's not easy to find, even harder to track down is the Silent Hill 2 director's cut for PC. The room is the easiest to get hold of for obvious reasons.

    I really wish they'd release RE0 / RE remake from the cube on the pc..

    Played parts of 2 and 3, they aren't that scary.Since it just got kinda old when you have seen almost the same stuff in 3 games.
