Now I wanted a little bit of time to talk about my favorite Top 10 characters of the series.A former soldier coming home from a tour is greeted by a nightmarish existence within Shepherd’s Glen.

Best Silent Hill Series Counts ObviouslyThis used to be my favorite video game soundtrack without a doubt until a few months ago when I started listening to SH3s soundtrack again.Another protagonist, Travis is the original victim of Silent Hill’s wrath. This was the first Silent Hill game I played and the first Silent Hill soundtrack I listened to in full. Alex is a strong protagonist who lives with torment, and in Silent Hill fights it.Why Silent Hill 2 is the best Silent Hill 2 has been praised for its grotesque and unnerving atmosphere, its intriguing and mysterious characters, its insanely effective and emotional soundtrack and most importantly its dark and brutal, yet somehow beautiful story.Silent Hill 2: Original Soundtracks (2001) This game is where it all started for me. Also his realization of his intended birth for sacrifice purposes also creates another layer to his already mixed being. He accidentally killed his brother, causing him to lose sanity and be tormented for his actions. The more Alex is revealed, the more you see how messed up he is. Putty x11He saves Cheryl and sets her free for Harry to find, setting out on his truck for another shift. His mother tried to kill him, his father committed suicide due to the insanity caused by the attempted homicide, and his past was set to repeat. Travis seemed an ordinary individual who simply got caught up in this mess, however his past, as all of Silent Hill’s friends, was tainted. Travis was summoned to this town by Alessa Gillespie after being set alight and needing help to survive. He is a part of the Order and disperses drugs to the residents and hospital staff to keep them subdued. The further the game unravels, you see that Kaufmann is as much to blame for the mess as any other. He is seeing these odd events as Harry is, making him seemingly normal. Kaufmann is a doctor you run into at the hospital. In the original Silent Hill, Dr. I've played Resident Evil 1, Code Veronica, 4, 5, 6 (never Doctor Michael Kaufmann. Angela is a tormented soul, brought to Silent Hill the same as the rest. Kaufmann is a mystery man who’s real purpose is never to be known.A character that you cannot help but love. You see how much he caused grief for several people mainly Lisa. In the end, he turns on the order’s god before being brought to hell by Lisa.With Silent Hill Origins, we learn that little extra about Kaufmann. He always has a mission on his mind. After killing 10 people, he was caught, tried and he committed suicide whilst in prison. Walter Sullivan, known to as the mass murderer of Silent Hill, was a character that gave me chills. Angela is a solid number 7.A name on a crappy newspaper in Silent Hill 2, is the name of the evil heinous villain of Silent Hill 4 (the irony). “You see those flames too? I see this all the time”. Her speech before saying farewell to James and the world was a highlight of Silent Hill 2. She goes from a worried individual, to contemplating suicide, to assaulting her monster molesting father in quick succession. Eddie is seemingly a normal obese gentleman who is suffering due to an accidental misfire. Similar to Angela, he was brought to Silent Hill due to past events and destined to meet James Sunderland. That there makes him a worthy number 6.Eddie. Walter kills people from his life without compassion or remorse. The brutal murders of Cynthia, Jasper, Richard and Andrew, are a testament to his past and violence. Made an orphan at an early age, he was hell bent on getting to 21 murders to fulfill an ancient prophecy, leading him back to his “mother”. This gun wielding fellow gets number 5.The lady that Silent Hill revolves around. James proceeds to kill off the previously hilarious character gone dark. He also becomes sadistic and tells us his love for the feeling of death. Eddie intentionally shot a man and his dog before fleeing into Silent Hill. You become aware of his attitude change within the jail, however once you see him in the meat locker, that is when the truth is revealed. Unfortunately for her, people aren’t falling for it. Harry saves her and gets his Cheryl back.Fast forward a few years, and Cheryl is now under the guise of Heather. During the car crash, Cheryl goes missing and is found to have once again rejoined Alessa. Harry Mason claimed her as his own and she lived a normal life. ![]() Kaufmann preying on her, toughens this lady even as she breaks. Dealing with Alessa, fighting the urge for White Claudia, and having Dr. The more you delve into Silent Hill, the more you see how tested this lady is. Her nature endears you and she is someone you love to see. The beautiful Miss Garland goes to number 3.James Sunderland is my number 2. Also, her reveal as the ever suffering fate bringer Valtiel in Silent Hill 3 shows she is a survivor. She drags Kaufmann to hell eventually for the hell she suffered.Silent Hill Origins deals with her story a lot more, about her wishing to be an actress, and her misdemeanors to attain drugs. Her scene with Harry when blood pours from her head is intense and scary. However, near the end of the game, she finds out the reason she has survived was because she is a monster forced to suffer within Alessa’s fury. Mediachance photo reactorJames is only number 2 on this list, but his partner in crime got one spot above him.Maria. Also the realization and fights with Pyramid Head are forever memorable. The scene with him smothering Mary is a top gaming moment for me as it was a shock. His story, his life and his personality make him a larger than life protagonist in the Silent Hill universe. His interactions with Maria, Angela, Eddie, and Laura , are a representation of himself to some degree. The more the man is exposed, the more you see he is not as he seems. James can either kill Maria and his past, or turn and go with her, effectively having himself a new Mary who is his sexual equal. Her run ins with Pyramid Head are classic and memorable.Maria as the final boss, has her dressing up as Mary and proving that she is there to take her place. Silent Hill made her to cause anguish onto James. Meeting Maria in SIlent Hill ends up being not so much a coincidence but fate. Her sexiness is to represent James’ desires, her deaths and rebirths are to represent heart ache and suffering, and her attitude is a direct comparison to James’ former relationship. Formerly an exotic dancer, her life is based on one thing, being a replacement for James’ wife Mary. Until next time peeps, take care and have a good one.
