Silent Hill: Homecoming

[Grandpa Crusty]

Well, I finally gave up on Silent Hill. I just couldn't beat Scarlet with 25% health, and I must have tried 40 times (I admit, I suck as a gamer). Ultimately, I need to start again from the beginning and make sure I have more health when I go into the battle. Unfortunatley, while I have several different saves, I don't have a lot of health in any of them. I will end up playing it again, the game had some really good design (hell descent was great), the sound was some of the best in gaming, and the creature design was very good. It's just that I am frustrated and have Dead Space waiting, which I have heard very good things about.

Played Dead Space for about an hour and a half and the game is freaking amazing. In my opinion sound is incredibly important in a survival horror game, and this game uses it to set it's atmosphere better than any game I think I have ever played.

Sounds like me. I've wasted 3 syringes already on accident and I'm always low on ammo.

F the 360

[Lonesamurai]

I've beaten the game 3 times now. Got the UFO ending, the "good" ending and the Hospital ending. I like this installment a lot. But as far as the graphics go, they really don't push the 360's potential as much as I'd hoped. Hey Fright wait til' you get through the prison. Asphixia is a "fun" boss. Go at her with the knife and really practice your dodging. When she falls down equip the axe and go nuts on her tail. One more thing you'll find health, ammo and a save point just before opening her door. Explore the hall, the room should be on your left. Good luck.

Anyone know what the gemstones are for that you collect about half way through the game?

Puzzle pieces. Two of them go into a statue in a cemetary. Statue gives you a key that opens up a part of the cemetary that has the rifle in it. Cannot recall which two of the four stones it is off the top of my head. IGN or wikipedia likely has the info.

So, my friend complained that monsters arent scary anymore, nor the game for that matter. Is this true?

He says its way too easy to harass the dodge-system to win any fight with ease, thus making the game unscary, and the monsters feel more like obstacles than real threats.
