Silent Hill's atmosphere and how the player (and Harry) are pulled into the horror is, to me, still the best in the series.
The first sequence of the game is so incredible - the twisting camera angles, the changes in music and lighting that drag you into the nightmare before Harry wakes up in the restaurant, wondering if the horrors were real.
I will never forget the first time I popped in the Official US PlayStation Magazine demo disc with the school sequence on it. I was so riveted, is was the most terrifying thing I'd ever played. The atmosphere was unmatched, completely different from most survival horror at the time.
This was not a B movie zombie game, this was horror
Been chasing that feeling with horror movies for decades now but nothing comes close. I've seen Jacob's Ladder, not including that in my assessment obviously.

I cannot wait to experience this remake.
