The Silent Hill series started with the first game on Playstation. The first one is pretty much the weakest of the series, though, and games 2 and 4 are side stories without much of any connection to the plot of 1, so if you don't have a PS1 you could probably be fine just reading a plot summary.
The next three games (there are 4 now) are on PS2. They're also available on Xbox or PC if you don't have a console.
The first one is a bit hokey and the older graphics kind of hamstring it a bit, but it's totally uphill from there. It's quite a good series. Fairly self-contained (though 3 is kind of a sequel to 1) but filled with tons of little hints and details that link the games together and give more details about the town.
