Thoughts on Silent Hill?

i played SH1, when game wasnt well know yet. You didnt know what you are getting into. You started in that odd, deserted town and then after few hours..

when you compare SH1 to other horror games available at time (ie. resident evil with cheap jump scares 24/7) it is like comparing oscar movie to some B-flick. SH1 has it flaws, but thought that went into creating atmosphere, sound and puzzles was at genius level. This game really deserves praise.
