Homecoming reviews part 1
OXM has provided the nadir when it come to the reviews of the game so far, because the others have been pretty good. Here's GCHD's review which gave it an 85%, here's Ugo.com's which gave it an A+, and 1up's review which gave it a solid B. The reviews have certainly picked up, and it seems that the game is worth the money. The major problems seem to be the straight forward story and the Combat system which is good but has room for improvement. It seems that if Double Helix fixes the flaws in this game in their next entry, then we could be looking at the next Team Silent.

I think you put too much stock into "professional" reviews. Word of mouth has always been a more reliable indicator of quality. Game magazines and web sites tend to either overrate or underrate a lot of games, and their reviews to tend to derisively refer to people who disagree with the writer as "franchise fans". I hate game critics. >:-(
It depends; like film reviews, game reviews are amazingly useful in large numbers. In an age where games are so damn expensive, I kind of have to put more stock into reviews. Simply because I don't have a lot of cash.
