whats the best ?silent hill or resident evil ?

RE games aimed at the 'boo! there's a monster behind the chair" type of scare. They were pretty good but the enemies stupid and slow so they had to change the formula completely to keep it fresh and entertaining (refer to any RE game on the gamecube with los ganados and the crimson heads).

Now SH was more of a psicological terror, not focused on the enemies per-se but the environment and the psycosis of their characters.

To me even though I played more RE than SH and loved them both, SH > RE in almost every aspect of the game. Plus I love psycological horror. I even liked SH4!

for true horror SH hands down.

Action: Resident Evil
Horror: Silent Hill

I prefer Resident Evil, particularly Resident Evil 4!

Personally, i like Silent Hill bether. It is the better horror/psychological thriller game. And then there is the Pyramid Head.

Silent Hill, without question.
