David, you asked, "For those of us who haven't played Silent Hill, whats pyramid head?"
Pyramid Head is an enemy that you have to face when playing Silent Hill 2. He is a manifestation that James creates (James is the main character) from his own guilt for losing his wife Mary - in a way Pyramid Head is his own personal demon that he must fight, and because it is born out of guilt it is all powerful, and cannot be killed (in the game you cannot actually kill Pyramid Head). He is very powerful as a boss, and frightening as well because you can't kill him, only drive him away. You should play Silent Hill 2, it would be worth it just for Pyramid Head - and the amazing storyline.
