Though it wasn’t the first in the genre, for years Resident Evil was known as THE survival horror game. A few companies made Resident Evil clones in hopes of cashing in on this hot new genre, but they all fell short of reaching the success of Resident Evil...Then along came Konami with a little game called Silent Hill, and suddenly Resident Evil had itself some competition.
Description:Harry Mason, an average man, is driving to the town of Silent Hill with his daughter. Upon approaching the town, a cop speeds by on a motorcycle. When Harry gets closer to town, he sees that same motorcycle sprawled in the middle of the road. Harry also spots a woman standing in the road, but due to the dense fog, he can't stop in timHarry Mason, an average man, is driving to the town of Silent Hill with his daughter. Upon approaching the town, a cop speeds by on a motorcycle. When Harry gets closer to town, he sees that same motorcycle sprawled in the middle of the road. Harry also spots a woman standing in the road, but due to the dense fog, he can't stop in time, so he swerves to avoid her, crashing into a railing, knocking him unconscious.
When Harry wakes up, his daughter, Cheryl, is missing. Sensing that she would head to the town to seek help, Harry sets out on a journey, not knowing what to expect from this eerie town, enshrouded with fog.
You play Harry Mason, a normal man, with no powers or training of any kind. You must search through the town of Silent Hill, looking for your daughter. You will come across many people, some friendly, some not. You must visit many different areas, such as the school, and the church.
Will Harry find his daughter and safely get out, or is there more to this town than a simple fog layer?... (more)(less)

"
I finally get to play this game after never owning a Playstation in my youth. Thanks to my gf owning a PS3 I bought it for 5.99. Started it and have been enjoying it so far even if I didn't get to play as long as I would have liked."

""While I haven’t played too far into Silent Hill (I know, my bad) I can definitely see what the game’s advocates have been telling me for years. This is no mere Resident Evil clone: Silent Hill is something else entirely. Still, semantics aside I can’t think of too many games that can surpass the level of attention that’s present within its atmosphere. A game I should have picked up a lot sooner that I did.""

After Resident Evil was released, a ton of sub-par survival horror clones were published by various companies....Then came Silent Hill, which at first glance may look like a Resident Evil clone, but Resident Evil is like Sesame Street compared to Silent Hill.

"#1 No Escape
This track starts out only a little unsettling until the high-pitched sounds of doom begin. On the one hand it builds up an incredible tension and on the other hand it's so painful for one's ears that you just want it to stop as soon as possible and get out of there. It makes me feel like there are creatures all around me, being in pain, crying for help, and me being unable to do anything. This feeling of being lost in an unknown realm mixed with the uncertainty, not knowing what wi"

"What happens?
How to achieve it?
First of all you have to obtain the Channeling Stone which is only available after having completed the game with the Good+ Ending. Then you will find it in Convenience Store 8 on Bachman Road, in the north area of Old Silent Hill.
