Would you miss anything by playing Resident Evil 4 without having played any of the others? What I mean by that is -- are they all a part of one giant storyline or will it stand on its own? Apparently I'm the only person on earth that hasn't played it.
As to Silent Hill, I loved the game, but I'm weary about a movie based on it. Same goes for all horror flicks these days ... the trailers are always good, but most times, they're just plain dumb.
The game stands on it's own just fine. RE4 was the first one I've played in the series too.

this movie was freakin awesome as crap. to be honest the ending was weak, but so much else in the movie made up for it for me. I also have a new favorite bad guy from movies and his name is Pyramid Head. what he does to one character in the movie is absolutely sick and add to that the fact that he walks around like Nightmare from Soul Calibur with a very similar sword makes him that much sweeter. I'm definitely picking this one up day one when it comes out on dvd.

the photography was pretty amazing in the first half. the story arc seemed to drift way off in the second half... terrible writing/acting seemed to replace the creepy atmosphere developed in the beginning. everyone in the theater was laughing at how bad the lines were at the end. nonetheless, i was amazed they were able to pull off some of those shots during the "video game" scenes.

yeah the acting was pretty blah and I think the only times people laughed for a second or so was when the cop was saying "what the f!@#. what the f!@# was that!" and the begining of the nurses scene cuz it looked like they were gonna break out into the Thriller dance.
but there was so much freaky ass crap in that movie that I was able to look past that which I normally can't do. that was because of awesome effects like the transformation of the surroundings when the darkness comes is one of the coolest things I've seen done as were a few other special effect scenes especially when taken into account that this movie's budget wasn't nearly as much as a lot of other "big" horror movies. I think I liked it a lot cuz other than saw, I can't recall a really good horror flick I've seen in the past 5 or so years.
the movie sucks.....save your money
