It breaks my heart to read about your unfortunate events surrounding Silent Hill.I remember having both silent hill 3 and 4 on my ps2, i tryed them both to see how they were, but soon after that my ps2 got broken and i was unable to finish silent hill 3, and i have vague memory of the first 30 minutes of silent hill 4
At least you got to finish Silent Hill 3, it's easily the best game in terms of gameplay, plus the graphics and character animations from 2003 still look incredible to this date.
