Homecoming instantly became one of my all time favourite horror games. Thought it had so many things going for it that the former games in the series lacked. Especially the combat movements where very much improved. Also the graphics had taken a huge step up since "The room". And i loooved the Silent Hill (the movie)/Hostel inspirations.

"The Room" is still the very worst SH in my book.

Thanks for the review, Angra. This game seems ubiquitously panned, but I still REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY want to play it - I might pick up a used copy.

Question: I haven't played a single Silent Hill game and I'm finding it difficult to find a used copy of the first one... Am I missing out on a lot if I just jump into the series at #2? Is the second one worth picking up?

Thoughts on the Silent Hill series as a whole?

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Yes, go for the second SH. It's really good. Personally I found both the second and third to be better than the original. Also notice the soundtrack in the second one. Really cool. ;)

The only real flaw in this franchise has always been the combats.

But the atmosphere rocks.

Hands down the creepiest atmosphere of ANY game series... Who'd-a-thunk fog could be so menacing.

Wow - KICK ASS trailer. Thanks! I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a used copy.
