Silent Hill Homecoming (or Silent Hill5 whatever!!)
Essential buy if your a fan of survival horror games & or Silent Hill and as you can see the levels set in the otherworld look reasonable. Sceenshots cannot capture all the debris and other shader FX like the coloured film grain filter which is always on. But the normal world gfx are not very good at all as the design is intended to be bland and realistic and they look average at best plus the heavy fog filter obscures everything so not point taking screenies of that! Not a long game or a great game especially compared to the other PC SH games this is dead last but it does have a few good moments and is worth a buy if you like the others but everyone else will probably hate it as the game is also seriously short (I reckon it can be completed in around 3 hours). Uses Steam activation only but you cannot buy it on UK Steam only retail DVD-Rom. Also be aware the game is badly coded on all platforms (PS3+X360) and stutters in places on some cut scenes regardless of how good your hardware is. Unlikely to be patched either as its sold very poorly which is why the Japanese team behind SH1-4 were disbanded & sacked as SH4 flopped as well so Konami turned to a US developer for this with the same results!! If they had not rushed this game it would have been so much better as all it needed was more time to polish (like they all do nowadays!!).
The nurses from Silent Hill2 have returned!

Save points are far apart so its either an ammo cheat or lots of backtracking
Its smooth and very stable now though with the latest patch. The graphics in it are pretty damn insane, with the lighting being really impressive.
