Fuck!!!

The first review of Homecoming that managed to slip out was awful; a paltry 6.5! This is not good, as the game releases tomorrow and I have yet to see another fucking review (as with movies, this is usually not a good sign). It looks like Homecoming is another Alone in the Dark. Still, not to worry; there are three promising Horror titles for the 360 on the horizon. First, of course, is Dead Space! The story is fucking tight, the visuals are amazing, and the gameplay mechanics are awesome. Then there's Alan Wake, which is finally set to debut in '09. Remedy took their time with this project, and from what I've been hearing this game is going to be great. It borrows a lot from Silent Hill with the alternate reality and nightmare imagery, but it also does a lot of things all it's own. I can't wait to see how the "light as a weapon" dynamics turn out. Lastly, there's Resident Evil 5; I really feel that the trailer says enough. Just one question, was that a Fucking El Gigante!? Overall, if Homecoming is as lame as this first review seems to fortell, then I'm waiting to put my money towards Dead Space. I'll get Homecoming next year when I can find it for $25-30 used. I'm not gonna waste my money on a new copy if this has turned out to be a sou crushing "fail!" If it is, I have one bit of advice for Konami; GIVE SILENT HILL BACK TO CLIMAX STUDIOS!!!
