Silent Hill games are great. I have SH2 and beat it about 2 years ago, great game. I bought Silent Hill 3 a while ago but I haven't been able to beat it because it freaks me out too much, haha. That might be because I only play horror games at night. You just get a much better experience.
There's this abandoned mental hospital right around where I live called Byberry, and it's really scary..the thing is, being inside and walking/looking around, it looks so similar to the environments in Silent Hill games. Long, dark hallways..rust everywhere..random things that freak you out, like when me and my friends found a notebook with blood stains on it in one of the rooms before..broken things, such as shattered toilets and whatnot..creepy sounds..pretty much everything about it is so similar to Silent Hill. When I walk around the place I feel like I'm in the Silent Hill games(well, except for the fact that I usually have a bunch of my friends with me, and in Silent Hill you're usually always alone..but you wouldn't wanna walk around this place alone..believe me). It's so scary, but so much fun to explore, and so interesting to see some of the stuff that you can find in there..it's huge too, there's a few maps online,
http://byberry.cjb.net/ has one. To elaborate how huge it is, I've explored just the N-10 building 3 times(for hours at each time), and I've only been through about half of it.
Oops, I went a bit off topic, haha.
The deep story, and the deeper story for the fans who read more about it after they're done playing. Also, very scary game. Scariest I've played (yes, scarier than Resident Evil 4). Such a wonderful game!
