yeah I played SH 1 and 2 both when they first came out, and have only played them once through. so it has been many years since I played them.
I thoght it was a Prequll becuase in the game his wife is dead and in the movie his wife is alive. It would also explain why the hell he goes to silent hill in the first game. and In silent hill two he gets a letter from his dead wife, or as I was thinking his wife sent him a letter from the alternet world she is liveing in with her hellish daughter.
It still seems like a prequll to me becuase his wife is alive, even though I know its not.
