Dead Space vs Silent Hill
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
Silent Hill
Silent Hill is the first game in one of the biggest horror-themed adventure game franchise. This game lets you join Harry Mason, the average concerned father, who based on a clue he obtained, went to the mysterious and eerie town of Silent Hill in search of his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl. However, things took a turn for the worst when Harry stumbled upon a cult that is trying to revive an evil deity it worships and discovered the origin of his daughter. Being an adventure game, Silent Hill also offers multiple endings depending on the actions you take and the decisions you make in addition to an engrossing story.Konami has also reinvented this classic and produced a remastered version of the game, called Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, for Wii, PSP and PS2.
