Amnesia killed the horror genre

Silent Hill 1 is scary because the controls are so difficult you're in constant peril from the walls as much as the enemies. SH2 is very psychological and penetrating of a disturbed psyche and town. No one loves SH3 for some reason, but it's an examination of rage, coping and revenge. SH4 has very dodgy gameplay but the story itself is fascinating and I loved it.
