Silent Hill: Homecoming

[Emu]

For five bucks, it's worth playing if you're a fan of the series. It's really not that bad a game, it just feels unpolished. The directors spent too much time trying to perfect the atmosphere (which they did a good job on) that the story suffered for it.

The main problem with the game is that it's even possible to separate 'atmosphere' from 'story.' This isn't true of the first 3 SHs, anyway. Arguably maybe even the 4th one.

Otherwise, it's really just small stuff. Alex's model is beautifully detailed and his expressions are superb, but other important characters like his parents (and to a lesser extent his brother, even) have very rigid expressions and look very drab when standing next to Alex. The discrepancy is wide enough to be really noticable.
