I think the Silent Hill games are some of the worst I've ever played. Cool music and great atmosphere, but the actual gameplay is TERRIBLE. You spend the game SLOWLY running around foggy-as-fuck towns and hitting people with clubs (in some of the games, the weapons break...?!), talking to people, and solving stupid puzzles, like "hmm.. there's a locked door and it has a horse head shape in it... perhaps if I go up a floor and hit a few people with my club, one of them will drop a HORSE HEAD DOOR KEY!"
I know a lot of people really enjoy the atmosphere/stories whatever, but I do find it odd that Killer7 -- one of the best games of the last-gen -- was ridiculed for its supposed "simplistic" (which it is, no denying that, but it's also FUN) gameplay, when Silent Hill is given the pass.
Anyway..
