Current Game: Silent Hill 3

... kicks ass. Im about 2 hrs into the game and it rocks.Its not about the puzzles, playability, anything like that.The ambience of the game is nothing like Ive ever seen.Graphics are amazing. Not in a startlingly clear, well-rendered way, but in a gritty, messy way. Everything casts dynamic shadows (the game is very dark and you have a very small flashlight).But what gets you is the sound. I can only play the game for about an hour -- the game gets you after a while. Not in an annoying way, you become very anxious and jumpy. Its freaky. You have to play it on a big screen with surround sound in the dark to understand it.You know that feeling when you first watched blair witch? At the end?The whole game so far is like that.
