Looks like NewEgg.com dropped the price on Silent Hill Homecoming for the 360 down to $24.99 w/FS:

Nice price...that's a good find, Shrike. Too bad it's not the PS3 version which is what I'd bite on...

Not bad, but I''ll keep checking Target to see if I can grab it for $15.

I noticed that yesterday....still would like to see it go under $20.00.

Having never played any of the series, and only seeing the movie (and I did like the movie somewhat for its sureal look), how is this game? What style of game, Like Res Evil 4 (sorry havent played 5 yet)?

Oh they have it on sale.

For $56.99 w/FS.

Don't worry, I did check on the PS3 version before I posted, and would've tossed into the post if it was cheaper.

Which version is the best one? 360 or PS3?

There's not really any difference aside from 360 having achievements and the PS3 version not having trophies. I personally got it on the PS3 awhile back, but the controls are fairly different from the past Silent Hills, so now I wish I had gotten it for the 360 for the achievements.

As far the game itself, it's better than most reviewers say. I thought the cutscenes stayed true to the style of the series and the "other world" was pretty atmospheric for the most part. My only complaints would be that most of the game is on the easy side and it's pretty short. I also thought the majority of the puzzles were just flat out DUMB. They were either too easy or they were fuse box puzzles that didn't make any sense, to the point of being unsolvable without cheating, and offered zero entertainment value.

I hate scary games.

Same here. I hope to get it at around $15 or so.

thanks for sharing, newegg doesn't always have great deals but when they do their great!

Actually, it's been $26.99 previous to today, so this is the cheapest it's been yet.

Why is it always only the 360 version that is on sale for multiplatform games

I just posted a review on the game here. I wish I'd only paid $24.99 for it. It definitely has the "silent hill" look, but everything else is lacking.

I got this game for free on PS3, but have yet to play. I'm a huge SH fan (and overall survival horror games/horror movie fan), so thanks mary_at_gamefunk...you may be extremely cute, but your review makes me and puppies around the world cry.

I'm just the messenger.

Uh...UH...This is gonna be a tough one to buy or not.

For those curious about getting the game, I just beat it a couple of days ago and it was better than I expected it to be.

The controls are better than previous silent hill games and the game was pretty atmospheric. I enjoyed the simple puzzles and pacing and the characters were fairly interesting.

The only con I have about the game was that the save points were fairly far in-between. I just hate playing a game where I want to go to bed and I cant save until I get to a predetermined spot, but that is just a personal gripe.

Agree with the couple of guys here who found it better than expected. I loved the previous SH games and was kinda wary initially when the game got mixed reviews (some did rate it very highly though.. 1UP I think scored it well), but I went ahead and got it anyway.

Great atmosphere and it does control a lot better than previous SH games. Probably the best SH I've played since SH2.
