I'm with the general consensus that Silent Hill is obviously better horror and story, but I could never get into them as games. I've tried a couple of them, and maybe they weren't great examples (SH3 and whatever that was on the Wii), but I've had far better luck getting into Resident Evil games. Even if they aren't scary, the campy charm keeps me in. Though I didn't really like RE4, I did like 5, and like most other people I didn't like 6. And 7 was a totally different game, so I'll agree its probably going to be a dividing point. But I love the story and atmosphere and themes and things in Silent Hill, and wish I could have experienced that kind of thing in a video game. I have a feeling it would have been a formative experience, especially at a young age when they first came out. I'm always looking for games like that. And now having watched people play the demo of Visage, I think a game with a similar theme has finally appeared. Obviously inspired by P.T. and Allison Road, it has that grainy surreal first person view and brings horror in tense subtlety rather than weird schlock and jump-scares. It's in early access but you get to play through the first chapter, and it's easily a good enough game on its own for anyone looking for that sort of thing this Halloween season
