]]>One of Silent Hill 2’s most iconic and memorable puzzles involves the Grandfather Clock and a poem about three people called Henry, Mildred, and Scott.

]]>One of the first and most memorable puzzles of the Silent Hill 2 remake is the Coin Cabinet found in the Reception Office of Wood Side Apartments.

Now, anyone in their right mind would be questioning how James’ deceased wife could write a letter from beyond the grave, but James is clearly not in his right mind.
]]>Silent Hill 2 is renowned for a lot of reasons, and its multiple endings and their various ending conditions are one of those reasons. Back in 2001, it took a good while for people to actually figure out the math behind each ending, but it looks as though Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 endings are a little easier to crack this time around.
]]>You’re not done with Lake View Hotel in Silent Hill 2 just yet, and depending on how you feel about James’ journey so far, you may be overjoyed - or filled with dread - to hear this.

]]>James Sunderland has been on quite the journey so far in Silent Hill 2, but we’re finally nearing a close.

]]>At this point in Silent Hill 2, you will have explored the foggy East South Vale and made your way through the Wood Side Apartments, where you’ll have fended off Mannequins and more while finding all manner of keys and coins.

]]>James’ journey in Silent Hill 2 begins at the Observation Deck, where he eventually meanders into the foggy streets of South Vale, only to slowly uncover the bizarre goings-on in the town.

]]>If you thought Silent Hill 2’s Toluca Prison was bad, you’ve got your work cut out for you when it comes to the Labyrinth. This place doesn’t have a map to begin with.

]]>After dealing with the horrifying Brookhaven Hospital and making your way to Silent Hill 2’s Historical Society, you’ll soon find yourself in Toluca Prison. This place is very dark and honestly, one of the more terrifying portions of the game, so brace yourself for what’s to come.
]]>“In my restless dreams, I see that town… Silent Hill. You promised you’d take me there again someday,” and Bloober Team has finally done just that, with exceptional quality and faithfulness to the source material.

]]>Silent Hill is going to be on most horror fan's brains for the next month, obviously because of the fact the hotly anticipated remake of the second game in the series is due out in a week's time. I can't blame anyone, I'll be thinking about it too, I love Silent Hill 2 - it's a classic for good reason, and I'm curious to see what the wider consensus will be of its remake. Will people reflect on the original and think "we didn't know how good we had it"? Maybe people will say Silent Hill 2 "was always bad, actually." Me, though, I'll be over here thinking, "OK, can we stop talking about 2 now and start talking about Silent Hill 4: The Room?"
