Awesome. Silent Hill is a great series. Ill probably pick this up in couple of weeks. Kinda broke right now : ( . But 2 will forever be my favorite gonna be hard to top that one but his one could do it.

This month is going to rape my wallet when it comes to gaming.

Silent Hill
Fable 2
Little Big Planet

...and that's only a few.

I am slightly concerned though, because if I heard right, the original SH team isn't working on this one, and it's an American developer instead. Hope it still comes out good in the end.

Official Xbox magazine gave it a whopping 65%.

ROFL.

According to the strategy guide, Pyramid Head has been renamed to Boogeyman. :|

excuse me, the official xbox magazine may lick my truck balls.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

From its leaden, cheap-shots-aplenty combat to its wild-goose chase through gray, same-y hallways filled with useless, placebo doorways to a story that takes much too long to get off the ground, its entire first half feels like a death march through a clunky hot mess.

OUCH

[Big Fat Mike]

In my latest attempt to soften the blow incase this game sucks, I just went out and bought silent hill 2, 3, and 4.


I will be playing them in order until tuesday, and then resuming them after I beat homecoming. So i'll be resuming on thursday.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I thought this might be shit when I heard about different devs taking over, it confirmed it in my eyes when they dropped the 5. They don't want to steer people away from the real SH5 that will eventually be released.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I'm still holding out hope that it will be at least decent.

After all, it's got the Boogeyman in it.

[Big Fat Mike]

its actualy spelled BOGEYMAN.

One "o"

I dont know why that makes any difference.

[Kalyx triaD]

This game got banned in the Land Down Under. That's two blows to Aussie gamers in only so long. Hope this doesn't inspire the US to be on some dumb shit.

[Big Fat Mike]

LoL banned for what? Being awesome?

[Big Fat Mike]

FUCK YOU GAMESTOP GET YOUR SHIPMENT ALREADY. AND OPEN UP ALREADY. WHAT THE FUCK :rant:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

LoL banned for what? Being awesome?

drills to the face

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hmmm, it's getting really panned now

The game feels like a bit of a letdown. The gameplay has been reduced from a tense psychological experience fraught with spine tingling jumps and scares to a generic, predictable action title set in the location with good graphics and a great soundtrack.

That was a 6.7 &

If survival horror is your bread and butter, then Homecoming is right up your alley; otherwise, you might be better served waiting for Resident Evil 5.

That was a 6

[Big Fat Mike]

Wtf resident evil is also survival horror. There is nothing that will stop me from purchasing this game. I mean that. I'll let you all know firsthand tonight.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I might give it a download once we're out of the holiday period. I just got FIFA (to tide me over until PES) and Saints Row 2 though so no room for SH5 just yet

[Big Fat Mike]

You know, I had completley forgot about NHL until you said something about FIFA. Thank you for that.

How much do you want to bet that Matt killed his brother and hit father in this one. Or that he raped a bunch of barnyard critters?

I vote he killed someone .

Matt being the protaganist in this one.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I forgot that NHL had a new Be a Pro mode and I should grab that until you mentioned NHL, so thanks for that!

[Big Fat Mike]

You had me at hello.

[Kalyx triaD]

BTW, Gamepro lost validity a long time ago. Wave off any review/preview they release.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I have to say I'm impressed so far. Probably the best SH since 2, I'd say.

And I liked 3 quite a bit.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

It's really good but I still prefer the first game from PSX.

[Big Fat Mike]

I got to play for about 3 hours today, and just tooling around I have to say I like what I see.

The combat is the best of the series. I think the dodge/counter makes it all flow very nicely, considering most enemies will own you if you try to go at them with no strategy. Graphically, it's very impressive - I've already hada few "OH shit" moments from my own SHADOW ON THE WALL.

My only gripe? I've been playing for about 3 hours and I'm yet to really learn anything about what's going on. Like...I don't know why someone is missing or what silent hill has to do with sheperds glen.

Oh, and we get it. The main character doesn't like water. He almost drowned when he was kid, and he probably drowned some other people, and the game beats that to death in the first hour. Thanks. Wouldn't have otherwise figured that out in the end.

[D Mac]

Rented it and think it's pretty cool. Graphics are good.

And the Silent Hill storys have always been a weird mystery anyways.

[Fryza]

I got to the graveyard when I rented this game.

Need to go back and play it. This is only the second SH I have played, the first being Origins. I can say this game is Godly compared to the latter.

[G]

Looking to play a SH game now that my Wii is broke and I can't play Shattered Memories. Now that this has been out for over a year and you guys have gotten a good chance to beat it, how is this.

[Big Fat Mike]

Didn't really "feel" like a silent hill game in the long run. Sure it was creepy, but there were waaaay too many enemies and the combat system was a joke. The protaganist in the previous games were a writer, a clerk, a teenage girl, a douchebag, and a trucker ; the main character in this game has the agility of Bruce fucking Lee. Too much bobbing and weaving for my taste. It's not survival horror to me if there arent any enemies that you are better off just running away from. But the story is pretty cool. So....Im sure you can get it for 20 bucks somewhere..or even cheaper. Probably just worth a rent thought as you will be able to beat it quite handily.

[Big Fat Mike]

totally just contradicted myself. Fail.

[G]

I'll probably just get it anyways. I haven't played any SH game before, so I wouldn't tell if it's like the others. I really liked the SH movie and wanted to play the first, but I don't have a PS. Was hoping to play SM, but since my Wii is fucked I can't. Really want a "horror" game right now. I want Dead Space, but I also want this now. I am confused with myself. :-\

[Big Fat Mike]

I've heard that Dead Space was more of a pants-shitter than Silent Hill Homecoming was so....does that help?
