Yeah, that would be pretty wicked, actually.

Gameplay's not horrible, but it is in dire need of improvement. Silent Hill 4 fixed a lot of movement issues and gameplay felt great, but the addition of the ghosts blew it. Storywise, it was as great as always.

Uh... what? The ghosts were the best thing to happen to that game, but the story was laughable.

It may not have been as great as the others, but it was still above average. And the ghosts weren't that bad actually, but almost everyone hated them.

I played Silent Hill 3 and I'm pretty much done with the series.

I tried to pick it up a few months ago and found it unplayable.

Maybe I'll try a next-gen version if they make the game a little more exciting.

Let's see here, Silent Hill had a creepy atmosphere, but eventually you realized there weren't really any monsters in the game. The school house was the pinacle of the game pretty much. The controls sucked, bad weapons, the framerate I remember being so bad that's why they had to put so much fog in it, and the story... Was there really a story? Didn't notice.

Resident Evil was amazing when it first came out, but they really should've gave it a rest. Part 2 was ok, and take it down a notch from there on out.

They should just learn to leave a success just that, a success, instead of smothering it.
