A towering, faceless executioner, Pyramid Head is one of the most bizarre, unsettling creatures that's ever oozed out of a human mind, and it still makes my skin crawl. But this creature is undoubtedly a vital part of the game's power-the silent pursuer who shadows James Sunderland through the fog-shrouded town as he searches for his dead wife. It could be the haunting atmosphere, gruesome monster designs, Akira Yamaoka's peerless soundtrack, or the masterful subtlety and psychological depth of its horror. There are a lot of reasons why Silent Hill 2 is still the best horror game ever made.
Pyramid Head turns 20 years old this month, but time has not dulled the edge of its rusty blade one bit.
