Silent Hill vs Resident Evil

[RedStarWarrior]

I like the Resident Evil storylines and that they are trying to inject some freshness into the series, but still keeping it to the source of what made the games popular (the surprises, etc).

Silent Hill is great as well, but when you have a series named after the fictional town it's supposed to be based in, it probably isn't wise to make a game in the series not take place in that town....

But but but.. I hear that they took out typewriters in RE5!! I MEAN, WTF MATE. And setting it in like... the open air is a bit weird. Even in Nemesis there were lovely claustrophobic looming buildings for the outside bits. :/

True, RE5 was different and not my favorite RE by far, but I've found myself enjoying most of the RE games, whereas I only enjoyed a couple of the SH ones.

Of course, I think SH has more to work with as far as what they can do...considering the whole supernatural aspect.
