A hauntingly beautiful trek through a foggy town. Will you find who you seek? That's for new players to discover. A widely influential horror title that should be preserved for future generations.

Scared and aroused. Kidding. This is one of the best stories told by the video game or any form of media. People deserve legal access to this game and its dense climat.

If they bring it, don't forget to use the Enhanced Edition(Mod) who were made by the fans fixing A LOT BUGS that Konami didn't care about back then. Hope GOG included it already... a well deserved job from the fan base!!!

Silent Hill is one of the most special franchises, not just to me but, to SO many people. A Horror game like Silent Hill on the PS1 in '99 must have been truly one of a kind, there aren't many games like it during that era Silent Hill 2 somehow elevated the series and made it the icon that it is today, such an unbelievable game for the PS2. Silent Hill 2 managed to capture the exact same feeling and made it feel brand new. Everything about SH2 is memorable and it really stands out in the series. My profile picture is Heather from 3, so I have a favorite but, it's so easy to see why everyone talks about 2

If I can help prevent others from going through the exhaustion that is playing this game without emulators or a PS3, just so they can experience Silent Hill 2, I'll gladly do so. Especially if like me, you weren't tech savvy enough to get a PS3 emulator to work.

I am not an old player of the game. When Silent Hill 2 was released, I was just born. I first played Silent Hill 2 in 2024 and learned that the Silent Hill 2 Remake was about to be released. I played the entire Silent Hill series on my computer and was very interested in this terrifying and twisted world. Among the entire series, my favorite is Silent Hill 3. I hope the classic Silent Hill can be released on PC to celebrate the new year, and I am also looking forward to the release of Silent Hill 3 Remake

dread, horror, atmospher, the story, characters, the monsters, the town itself, the oppresive fog, the silence inside the darkness and the melancholy upbeat music.

OG silent hill has so many memories for me - played it on the original Xbox as a teenager and it definitely helped shape my outlook on games, horror, and storytelling. The remake is great, but I'd love to be able to buy and play the original on my modern PC and compare them!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Fable II
Fable IIFable 2 is the second game in the fable series by Lionhead Studios, it is an open world role-playing game. It has a simple story line where the hero needs to save Albion from the evil Lord Lucian by collecting together the other three heroes to defeat him.

The player can also get married both same and opposite sex and bring up children to childhood but no farther, expressions are a lot more interactive with NPC's than before
