Even though the latest Silent Hill installment has already released to North American retailers, Europeans will have to wait until February 2009 to get their hands on Konami's Silent Hill: Homecoming.For reasons unknown (though localization seems to be the culprit), Homecoming has been delayed for release in Europe, pushed back from late October to sometime in February of next year. But don't be too sad Silent Hill'ers, because there's a certain game releasing this week and it should satisfy your horror needs until next year. Promise.

Given the reviews, I was skeptical about this game. It sounded like the combat would be too easy and that it was going to be too straight forward and boring. I was very pleasantly surprised to find what I believe to be the best survival horror game on the 360. I don't count games like Bioshock in this category though so I don't really believe there have been many games in this genre. The only other games that may fit this genre are the Condemned games and I presonally didn't like those games due to the combat and the combat controls.
Play this game alone, late at night (with all of the lights out) and the atmosphere will truly creep you out!

Delays. Late releases. The usual. Don't forget that we will have to pay more, regardless.

When will they learn? They shouldnt make all europeans wait for the other languages like french/german.
They should just pump it through some translator program and get some "engrish", or release an english version followed by a language version months later. If there is a us english version out, there is no excuse, just like tales of vesperia.
Oh well I guess ill find a way around it myself. Oh thats right theres already a region free version of this game out on the net. thanks internet! thanks for nothing konami.
Just like the tv series and movies, if you screw us around long enough we will grow tired and find a way around it ourselves.

I'm from Australia under PAL region and it was banned. The delay is there because of us while it tries to get certified. Put the blame on us as our community is old, slow, stubborn and backdated. Sorry my european fans..... :(

........FUDGICLES!
Fudge Konami, it's a Western-developed game, there are limits to reasonable localising delays.
