Back in 1997, I purchased a copy of Resident Evil: Director's Cut, mostly because I'd been exposed to the original verion at a friend's place, and thought it was interesting.  The shotty dialogue was a bit annoying, but the game itself was done very well, with good graphics, a puzzle-solving integration, and some really interesting monsters.  So when Silent Hill rolled around, I thought I should see how Konami's take on the survival/horror genre would be.  I wasn't let down, and Silent Hill quickly became one of my favorite PS titles of all time.
