Oh dear. The first Silent Hill: Homecoming review’s in, and the results aren’t pretty.
OXM’s given the Konami horror a less than stellar 65 percent. Snip:
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.
“Whoops.” Expect more soon.

Heh heh. Told you. Months ago, even.
Of course, this is one situation where I truly and honestly wanted to be wrong.

Months ago was when this review came out.

Sounds like every other Silent Hill game there’s been…which would be very good news indeed!

Pfft, oh noes not the magazine that gives sports games 8’s and 9’s when they have little to no difference between them.
If a game doesn’t have Gears of War, Madden/NHL, or 360 exclusive then it’ll rarely if ever make above a 7 anyway. I’ll wait until a more credible source gives a review

@Gekidami:
Wha? The review’s in the November issue. That’s November 2008, before you ask.
Game’s out tomorrow in the US, btw. And there are next to no reviews available. And the box-art is awful. These are not good days.

Months ago is an exageration, but it was about three weeks ago that it came out.

Ofcourse months is an exageration, it was to go with what Blerk said.
