Silent Hill: Homecoming was (In My opinion) a great game. However, whilst not being terrible, Shattered Memories was the worst in the series. Don't get me wrong, i kind of liked it, but it wasn't as good.
You're the first person I've seen compliment
Homecoming. I've been hesitant to check it out because the reviews I've read have been so uniformly awful. I haven't played a SH since the numbered entries, but the numbered entries (except maybe 4) rank #1 in my favorite series of all time. Your post is the excuse I've been looking for to seek it out in a bargain bin.

Anyone say Bioshock 2 was a bad game I will punch them not nearly as good as it's predecessor yes, bad no.
Yeah, I wouldn't really call it "bad" either. I had enjoyment playing the game. I was immersed when I was playing it, and that's all I care about.
My biggest disappointment with BioShock 2 was the story. I just didn't think Lamb made a very good villain. We were spoiled with Ryan and with Fontaine.
I'll call it bad. For several reasons.
A) The team who made the first one (which was genius) wasn't involved.
B) The premise of the game (grown up little sisters, etc.) destroys continuity. You literally have to ignore the first game in order to accept the events of the second.
C) Adam collecting missions. Stupid, repetitive Adam collecting missions. I know you don't have to do them, but I play good, okay? All these stupid missions did was artificially lengthen the game. And at least in the first one, doing the "bad" thing netted you more Adam. In this one, the only reason to be "bad" was to shorten the game. If the developers know that the player will see playing less of their game as an incentive, that's a pretty good sign it's bad.
C) Cut scenes. They were almost nonexistent in the first game, but they were all over the place in this one. Don't take control away from me unless there's a good reason.
E) The existence of this game is
aggressively unnecessary. Bioshock was fine without people coming and poking Andrew Ryan's corpse with a stick.
F) There is NO sense of mystery, and it has nothing interesting to say. It's not Bioshock. It's just a random story set in the same setting. It's fan fiction, and I hate fan fiction.
Sorry, that's not what this thread is about.
OT: Dino Crisis. The first game was a lot like the old Resident Evil games, except in a Jurassic Park-y setting. Campy killer dinosaur "horror" fun. The second was a weird top-down action game. The tone of the games couldn't have possibly been more different.
Twisted Metal 3. Good lord, this game. Twisted Metal 2 was
amazing. My friends and I stayed up all night passing the controller around playing its co-op. We got it down to an art, where we could beat it without losing a single life. We heard about TM 3, and we were psyched. I went to get it... and it was absolutely terrible. Unplayable. Ugly character models, blocky isometric view, wonky driving mechanics. I'm still mad to this day.
Resident Evil 5. I liked the old RE games. I liked the reboot in 4. This game is just a generic action game. I felt like I was playing Gears of Evil.
Pretty much any Tomb Raider after 2. You know why.
Any Call of Duty after COD4. I got fooled twice, but BlOps is the first COD I haven't purchased, and I'll never purchase another one again. WaW and MW2 broke my heart.
