Video - The First 45 - Silent Hill: Homecoming
It Appears the Lock On This Door Is Broken
by Raccoonacorn
A nice survival horror game seems like a great way to get into the Fall/Holloween spirit. Silent Hill is a marquee title in the genre, but it has its issues. Fans of the series beware, Joe's comments are...less-than-favorable.

At heart, The First 45 is a first impressions video. There's a catch, the impressions we offer are taken solely from the first 45 minutes that we spend playing a game. They say first impressions are the most important, and we feel it is the same with games. If you really aren't pulled into a game within the initial hour, chances are good you won't dig it after that.
There are no exceptions, this is exactly the beginning 45 minutes, from the time we boot up the game. What if the game pulls an MGS and starts with a 30 minute cutscene? That's too bad. We live in a fast pace society, and we don't have time to waste. We just want to play games.

The Silent Hill games have had camera/visibility/combat problems before, but they've also had some of the most terrifying moments in gaming. I'm curious to see where the story in this installment goes.
After seeing that, i'm with you guys. If I am going to play a game like that it will be Dead Space, which looks awesome. Good lookin out.
I gamefly'd this game and it should arrive today. I am going to give it a go. I will let you know my opinion once I get one, but without the ability to invert the Y axis, I don't have high hopes.
think i will pass on this.. few of my friends have already beat it and wish they had just rented it pretty much..
