Video games have had a mature rating for a long time but most of it is delivered in a sophomoric way, whether it's over-the-top violence, a constant stream of colorful four-lettered words, or gratuitous sexual innuendo and nudity. Video games have not typically handled the mature rating in a truly mature manner. Homefront features most of the aforementioned immature, mature-rated content, but it also delivers a serious and bleak storyline, and does so in a very effective manner.

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Yeah its nice, Just sign up and add them to your steam. even f you dont own a gaming PC, you might one day.
$3.50 a gallon? Really, thats what you pay?
Why are Americans always complaining when they get the best deal?
Its not a dig, I dont hate you guys, I'm trying to ask a serious question.
We're paying a $1.40 a litre. You do the maths.
I'm asking because its all I ever hear about game prices as well.
$60 for a game would be bloody heaven in Australia.
On topic, this game is looking better and better.
I might have to go plunk my $100 Aussie dollars down for a copy this arvo.
this just shows how much reviews and gaming journalism fails!!
please see the review of killzone 2, which scored 9.5
http://brutalgamer.com/2009...
killzone 2 has awesome mulitplayer and a solid single player experience and for all that it only gets 1 point more.
this half assed, P.O.S game only has multiplayer. lets face it, the single player sucks balls, and its not even half the length of most single player campaigns in other FPS.
in all honesty, this game is half the quality of killzone 2, or C.O.D:MW yet it scores along the same lines.
i believe homefront is only half the game of COD or killzone 2 so it should only score half the points! sure, you could say the quality is way more, but if only the multiplayer is good, shouldnt i pay half the price if im only playing the single player?
@Kingpin There are two problems with that:
1, If games are reviewed directly against each other then there must be a standardised title against which each new release can be reviewed against. This is next to impossible as the various different genres (not to mention sub and hybrid genres) prevent a qualitative standard.
2, You said it yourself, " I believe". Each and every review is a subjective work. It's impossible to quantify value, fun or any other variable into a "real"- an undisputed fact. This means that even if I agreed with you ( and I do think you have a point on paying for content you flat out don't want/use), any number of others can disagree either in whole or in part. It also means that comparing the opinion of reviewer a, who did Killzone vs reviewer b, who did Homefront, flat out doesn't work.
The best any site can hope for is to have a group of writers that love games, can write and are consistent and honest in there reviews and opinions. It's then our job to decide if we agree with the review (and we by no means have to)and if it gives good advice. I find there is a group of individual writers across a number of sites that have a similar taste to me so I trust what they say.
