Rate the Game: Week 109
Good morning, everyone. I hope your last week was less tumultuous than mine. On the bright side, we're all still here. Which means we get to rock on with this party we call Rate the Game, now in its 109th week! The hits keep coming and they don't stop coming...until Week 125. Also, we should address whether last week's Dead Island was a hit or not. Let's see how it measures up to other zombie-killing fests by taking a gander at the leaderboard!



Unfortunately, it's nowhere near contention for the top of the pack with its 3.33 average but it's got some OK company to hang with in the 72nd spot on the list, including fellow zombie shoot-'em-up Left 4 Dead. Both those titles sit higher than Dead Rising on top of that. Look at all of this lovely data we're giving you. We do this in the name of science!

Time marches on and all that so we have work to do. We now go to the bowl for its weekly obligation in giving us a new game to rate. What's in store for us in Week 109?

via GIPHY



I was wondering when we'd get to this one. We're not out of the woods yet when it comes to horror and gruesome imagery. This week is the third installment in Konami's classic survival horror series, Silent Hill 3. This would've helped back in October you fucking bowl. Anyways, we have to rate this sucker. Both of its predecessors are already on the board, with the first game occupying the lower pits since the beginning and the sequel sitting pretty in the elite top. So where will the third game end up? Joining the first game? Sharing room with the sequel amongst the cream of the crop? Or will it get lost amongst the just average somewhere in the middle? It's up to you to determine its fate so lets rate this sucker. Until next week.



No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes...



...again.

Fun fact: Silent Hill was number 1 on the leaderboard for a brief moment...because it was the first Rate the Game we did.

Just two of many of my trinkets that demonstrate my love for this game. That Robbie the Rabbit sticker is getting worn out. It's been on that phone for about 4 years. I might need a new one.

This one's my favorite of the series and probably the best one, in my opinion. The decline of the series would be when Konami took it out of the hands of Team Silent and gave it to any Tom (Hulett), Dick, and Harry who knew little to nothing about the it. The comics, the first film, and Silent Hill: Origins was where the shitshow really began. All things being fair, Team Silent did leave Konami but that doesn't wash Konami's hands of their ineptitude.

I liked SH2 significantly better. Again, SH3 was great, just not as great as 2. For as great as it was there were some minor bits I feel that foreshadowed how bad things would get starting with The Room.

Damn, only 2 people on board this time around. It hurts, not gonna lie.

I feel like playing through it again, now that it's been brought up for this week. It was legit the first game that actually scared the shit out of me. It's incredibly disturbing as the imagery and spot-on sound design blends together to create something that immerses you in terror and unease almost non-stop. Everything looks sharper here and the controls are a bit tighter than the first game and the puzzle design doesn't treat you like an idiot. The soundtrack is some of the best music in games and I dare you to play some of it on a long drive down an empty road at night. Heather is probably the best protagonist of the series as she has the best responses to all of the lunacy around her, plus her back story ties into the plot perfectly. It really gets the series back on track after a fun detour with the second game and focuses on what it's really about: occultism and its subsequent effects. This was a hard act to follow and The Room certainly fell short but, man, the series REALLY stumbled off the cliff after that and never touched these heights again. I know it's a toss-up for people between this and Silent Hill 2 but you can't go wrong either way, in my opinion. Just my two cents.

I don't know, I felt more scared by SH2. I think a lot of it had to do with the creepy environments, overall ambience, and just how often you're left to walk around in silence, hoping your own thoughts or a random enemy OUTTA NOWHERE doesn't make you soil yourself in fear.

2 had some genuine moments of "WTF?". The apartments towards the beginning of the game and the prison were really unsettling, the former because of how fucking dark the halls are and it's your first interaction with Pyramid Head. The prison has this oppressive dirty vibe to it and the hallway with the invisible creatures making those noises gets under your skin. The sudden appearance of a Lying Figure squirming its way out from under a car is also a good way to rattle your nerves. The third game's nightmare environments were more out there, I think, and I'll never forget the Mirror Room in the hospital. Like, I said, I don't fault anyone picking either game over the other because there's so much good shit in both. None of the games post-The Room ever recreated anything close to the sense of dread and shock and fear like any of these games did.
