"You wake up chained to a hospital bed, being pushed down a corridor filled with screams of terror. As you witness saw-like murders and experiments being carried out on unwilling victims, you plead with the doctor pushing you down this corridor of hell, when he leaves you, alone, in an operating theatre. Your heart is pounding and your breath fills the room with a deafening echo. Suddenly the sound of scraping metal! Horror fills your mind as this can only mean one thing; The executioner is he..."
"The creaking darkness and limited scope each of the protagonists individual actions will be familiar to Survival Horror fans, yet the infuriating control mechanics that have raised much argument over the genres current headline acts own Current-Generation arrival, Resident Evil 5, are entirely absent here. Movement and combat is infinitely more fluid than earlier entries in the series; simply holding the L2 Trigger will lock-on to an opponent, while pressing the Cross Button in initiate at..."

Reviews have been divided, with some hating the game for deviating so far from the previous games, while others claim it is an improvement for the series.
If you still haven't decided if Homecoming is worth shelling out the money for, here is Gametrailers' review, detailing the games plot, presentation, gameplay and design ...
"Ever since my first encounter with Silent Hill 2, something about this survival-horror franchise really got to me. Not that running from zombies wasn't terrifying when I played the original Resident Evil -- it's just that Silent Hill's themes of sin, punishment, and forgiveness (not to mention the nightmarish abominations) drew me in on a deeper level. While I'll always associate earlier series games with clunky combat, hard-to-follow stories, crappy camera positions, and load times between e..."
Today IGN reviewed Silent Hill: Homecoming and they were not impressed, giving it an overall score of 6.7/10!
Their main complaints were that the game felt more like an action game than a horror, that some graphic models and textures looked odd, and that the plot itself "came across more like a subplot than a full extension of the Silent Hill franchise". Although they praised the game's amazing locations and Akira Yamaoka's incredible musical score.

"In Homecoming Double Helix have crafted an experience which is a uniquely modern take on survival horror, incorporating now-standardized game elements such as 3D camera controls and smooth character interactions into the genres basic tenets, bending them where necessary but never breaking them outright. In Homecoming, fear comes from keeping players in a constant state of high tension, achieved through combination of deft level and art design, unsettling audio cues and perfectly paced proce..."
OXM recently reviewed the upcoming horror game Silent Hill: Homecoming and they weren't very impressed, giving it a mere 6.5/10. Their main complaints were the gameplay's cheap hits, the abundance of respawning enemies, and that the first half of the game "feels uneven and unbalanced". They also noted that Joshua (the protagonist's 12 year old brother) seemed to act more like a 4 year old than a 12 year old.
Although OXM were happy with the game's creepy atmosphere. At least fans will be hap...
