With the horrible taste that Silent Hill: Revelation 3D left in my mouth, I found myself returning to classic Silent Hill music to remind myself of how amazing the series was (and is, thanks to Downpour (review)). And as I was listening to Akira Yamaoka‘s Silent Hill 1 OST, which I used to fall asleep to (that probably explains a few things about me…), I felt something that I hadn’t felt from the latest film in any way, shape, or form: fear. Trepidation. Unease. I was looking over my shoulder as each track unfolded and I felt my nerves begin to stretch and tighten.

Since it’s officially Halloween, I wanted to share with you my 8 Scariest Silent Hill 1 Tracks as a way of revisiting the past to one of the most terrifying video games ever released. Head on below for a playlist that will make your Halloween party that much more spooky! READ MORE

I got my hopes up only to have them dashed, but maybe you could be one of the lucky ones. Thanks to AfterTheAsylum for the news tip, I read on PocketGamer Silent Hill is available for download on Playstation Certified Phones. From my research there aren’t many PCPs. As of right now. But the magical E3 brought news that HTC and Sony got together and are making Playstation Certified Phone Babies. So, keep an eye out for more PCPs in the near future and keep checking your Android Market to see if you can get the game. If I find anything else out I’ll let you guys know.

silenthill1ostcover [Retro Review] Silent Hill 1 OST
It’s hard to believe that it was over 13 years ago that Silent Hill for Playstation came out. Has it really been so long? Have so many years ticked away? It seems like only yesterday that I was playing the game with my friend in his basement, our eyes wide with fear, every creak the house made a warning that something, some THING, was after us. 
It was also the time that my now obvious near-obsession with Silent Hill began. For me, Silent Hill was to The Shining in the way Resident Evil was to Aliens. And as much as I love Aliens (a WHOLE LOT), The Shining is the movie I go to when I want to get scared. Part of the appeal is the work of renowned composer Akira Yamaoka whose name became synonymous with the franchise. Yamaoka’s work was nothing short of terrifying, creating an aural horror that assaulted the senses even when nothing was happening. 
So, in honor of March and the release of both Silent Hill: Downpour (OST review/game review) and the Silent Hill HD Collection, I decided to go back to my mid-teen years and revisit the OST to original Silent Hill, the one that started it all.
