Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 2 Is Back, Baby! A Journey Through the Fog Spoiler Alert: If you’ve never ventured into the misty, eerie town of Silent Hill, you might want to brace yourself. If you’ve played any of the Silent Hill games, well, prepare for a nostalgia trip with a brand new, shiny PS5 version of Silent Hill 2. As someone born in 1991 (so I’m technically a 90s kid, but who’s counting?), I remember first diving into these spine-chilling horrors when I was way too young, and honestly, I’ve never looked back. Silent Hill, and especially Silent Hill 2, are forever my favorite gaming experiences. You can never forget that fog, the creepy radios, and, oh yeah, the terrifying monsters that lurk around every corner.

Why Assassin’s Creed 2 Will Always Be My Favorite
Why Assassin’s Creed 2 Will Always Be My Favorite (But Valhalla Might Be a Close Second) Ah, Assassin’s Creed 2. The game that forever changed the way I view open-world action-adventure titles. When it first came out in 2009, it wasn’t just a game—it was a revelation. As we all know, the Assassin’s Creed series has had its ups and downs over the years, but I can’t help but feel like the franchise hasn’t quite been the same since AC2. But now, here comes Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and I’ll admit, for a brief moment, I thought the series might finally be returning to its roots. In some ways, it does—but in others? Well, it still can’t quite capture that AC2 magic.
