I can't help but feel like making the main character a soldier wouldn't take at least a little bit from the psychological horror that is silent hill.

Being a soldier makes it feel more like you have a chance, with a character who is trained in arms, and combat. As opposed to let's say Harry... Who's just Harry. A writer.

I dunno though. I'll still check the game out. They've all been good enough to at the very least merit a rental.
