Silent Hill (Video Game Series)

 Silent Hill

________________________________________________________________________

One of the most successful Survival Horror video game franchises

The original Silent Hill entered the video game world back in march of 1999. Since, the series (now consisting of nine games) has gone on to become one of the most successful "horror" video game franchises of all-time.

TOO SCARY 2 WATCH now presents a list of all of the Silent Hill video games (excluding Silent Hill: Book of Memories), that we believe may be worth checking out, if you love Silent Hill, and are interested in playing through all of the video games.

Foggy roads, empty streets, monsters, puzzles and more ... the Silent Hill franchise can make even the most seasoned gamers uncomfortable.
