Silent Hill 4: The Room
If your ready to be creeped out of your mind one more time, Silent Hill 4: The Room takes the sick/twisted survival/horror series away from the nightmare town of Silent Hill and to a place even more unpleasant. A bachelor's apartment. Badoompa.
You play through the eyes of an average Joe named Henry... an average Henry, in other words, who slowly discovers his bad dreams are actually rooted in a really bad reality. Bad like horrific and psychotically twisted, not bad like lost-my-job, can't-pay-the-rent.
As it turns out, Henry's apartment is a gateway to a multitude of fear filled worlds of appreciably freakish creatures and sprits, each reeking of their own particular flavor of insanity. How everything got this way is the new mystery in hand, with all new places to explore.
There's a new emphasis on panicky combat and inventory management, but with a similar play mechanics and the same gloriously rendered grotesqueries and fearfully charged audio that makes Silent Hill the benchmark of survival/horror gaming in the first place.

TIP: Offering a great reason to replay Silent Hill 4: The Room, once you finish the game save it, reload it, then go to the forest world and look for a cut tree. There you'll find a very handy chainsaw. Yeehaw! )
