Resident Evil and Silent Hill Games
May 18th 2011 -
When it comes to survival horror games, the two big classic franchises are Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Both of them have several games in their series for each respective console as technology improves. There are even handheld versions of some of the games for the Nintendo DS and even the iPhone and Android phones.
Both of these franchises also have a series of movies that were based on them, though when it comes to the Resident Evil movies, they are very loosely based indeed. Alice, the main character in those films, makes no appearance in the games at all. And the main characters in the games, such as Claire Redfield and her brother Chris, are just secondary characters. Umbrella Corporation and Wesker are still the main adversaries.
The first Silent Hill movie may be a bit closer to the original plot in the first game, but I have to say I’m not really a big fan of the Silent Hill movies. I think the games are much better. When it comes to flicks, I prefer the Resident Evil movies.
