I own every Silent Hill except Silent Hill 5 which I plan to eventually get. I agree with you that Silent Hill 2 was the peak of the series.

I don't understand why everyone thinks Silent Hill 3 is the scariest in the series. I remember when your in the apartment block at the beginning of Silent Hill 2 and you can see Pyramid Head behind some metals bars all illuminated in red just staring at you. I swear to god that has to be the creepiest thing in the entire series.
