Game Podunk looks back at one of the most terrifying games to scare gamers. Silent Hill 2 will likely never be matched by a video game again. The timing of its release was perfect and the story and game play created puzzles that were not so difficult that they required hours of scratching your head but were challenging enough to require a bit of thinking.

Let’s face it. Japan has always been at the forefront of video gaming technology. However, when Silent Hill 2 was released in 2001 on the Playstation 2, the survival horror world was taken by storm. In many groups, Silent Hill 2 is thought to be superior to its sequel. Three more main games have followed (Yes… Homecoming was sort of disappointing) and a film was created on the first game - another shining example of how good games make terrible movies. Yet, there might be a light at the end of the tunnels. There a rumors that a Silent Hill 2 movie is being planned. Hopefully, we’ll get some fresh minds on this one.
