I love the Silent Hill series. Though some of the latter day titles are not as good, the initial 4 were some of the best games I have played. Combat is realistic, the atmosphere is terrifyc (that is not a typo just terrify with a c), and the puzzles on hard difficulty are incredibly challenging.

I have a rather unorthodox theory about the entire series that completely contradicts the common understanding of the game.

-------------POSSIBLE SPOILERS-------------

I believe that all the spiritual, religious, reality warping, ghost stuff is a red herring. There are no ghosts or other realities or gods or any other crap that you might believe. The entire game takes place in the mind of powerful telepath, usually the bad guy in the game. The main character also has some telepathic potential and because of such can actually fight back.

So tell me what you think about my theory or just what you think about Silent Hill.

Not a big survival horror fan, but I do like to watch some let's plays of Silent Hill, mostly for the atmosphere. Might get the latest Silent Hill if it doesn't suck ass.

Your theory is pretty good, but fits better with the F.E.A.R games rather than Silent Hill.
I mean, wasn't the big bad of the first game a monster demon thing?

Broines won't like my AV.

	Bow before my Name and worship me with prayers and with sacrifices, for I am your God and I have dominion over all the realms. And great shall be my wrath if ye displease me. I was before the world was made. I shall be after the mountains crumble into sand, the seas dwindle to stagnant pools, and the world shrivels and is no more. For I was before time and shall be after."

But why would Alessa want you dead? And why would she make all that stuff?
