Published May 17th 2011. Written by Thomas McDermott. I am now 27, and over the years have played hundreds of games. In that time, I found myself getting engrossed in the most bizarre things. I can care about a marine in a bulky green suit, and a boy i...

The problem with gazing into a crystal ball and making bold predictions is the out-and-out risk. We did that with Homefront, pretty much calling it as a game of the year contender before it had even come out – we’d played a good wedge of the campaign...
Sadly, a step backward from Kaos's excellent Frontlines...

A near-future crisis in the US economy leaves America vulnerable, and a newly united Korea invades the US and takes over. What's left is a suburban dystopia run by a harsh military contingent, bringing the fight to the western world in more dramatic st...
Ambitious story; Refreshed additions to multiplayer FPS...
Dated graphics; buggy gameplay; short campaign...

The opening scenes in Homefront will stick with me for a while. A six year old child witnessing her parents being gunned down in front of her, piles of corpses being shunted around by dump-trucks and screaming bodies on fire after a phosphorus explosio...

From the moment it begins Homefront sets out to show that it’s different. Playing as helicopter pilot Robert Jacobs we find ourselves arrested by the Greater Korean Republic state police and thrown onto a bus to a labour camp.RPGs are apparently the on...
There are better shooters available, and the impressive writing credit of John Milius isn’t readily apparent in the campaign’s short length. But Homefront’s still an entertaining, if not a little under-polished, FPS that dares to strike out in new dire...

This is our quick Homefront review, a first impression after we have been playing the game for a couple of weeks. We know that graphics are not everything in a videogame, especially when I remember the fun playing the Commodore 64 as a child, it was all a...

This video game review takes a long hard look at Homefront, an invasion-based shooter that is near and dear to our hearts.When the film Red Dawn came out in 1984, it scared many of its viewers by giving them a glimpse of what an invasion on American so...

I really don't want to trash Homefront. Whenever a genuinely bad game comes around, the natural impulse for many writers is unchain their inner critic -- typically a once-annually event worthy of some note -- and tear the wretched thing to shreds. Last...
Multiplayer mode has potential.
Shamefully derivative; silly story.

Homefront is a game that would have made a massive splash if it came out a few years ago. It’s not a bad game by any means, but when it’s entering into a world dominated by Halo and Call of Duty, it’s not really clear if being a technically proficient...

Admit it, the premise does seem silly at first. North Korea? Invading the United States? By land? Is this serious? Of course, it turns out that Homefront's author, John Milius - the guy that wrote and directed cult classic movie Red Dawn - wasn't ex...

I've been excited for Homefront for a long time. Ever since it was revealed at E3 2009, I've been cheerleading pretty hard for this game. With a story penned by none other than the man behind Red Dawn, Homefront offered a truly visceral take on a specu...

In Homefront’s future setting of 2027, North Korea has invaded and successfully occupied the United States of America, branding as “insurgents” any of the populace who voice dissent or show resistance against the new regime. Sound familiar? Clearly the...
As the FPS genre marches towards a Call of Dutified heat death, it seems success is based more on the strength of a brand than any semblance of innovative game design. Homefront is only adding to this growing mass of homogeneous goo but at the very lea...

War on American soil isn't a foreign concept for first-person shooters, but few do it with the grim dedication of Homefront. Its chilling vision of life in occupied America is vividly illustrated through lengthy scenes that depict the brutality of mili...
Unflinching representation of military occupation, Some very memorable moments, Wellcrafted online multiplayer.
Very short campaign ends abruptly, Action feels overly familiar, Multiplayer makes no use of intriguing setting.
Homefront's engrossing vision of the future and gratifying competitive multiplayer outweigh its squandered potential and workaday game mechanics...

First-person shooters are quickly becoming the reality show of video games. No, Jeff Probst isn't going to weasel his way into Call of Duty, but first-person shooters, like reality shows on television, are everywhere. Both are saturated categories full...
I liked Homefront a lot, and yet I acknowledge that the aspects of the game I like the most aren’t the most important in determining whether the game is great or not. Homefront is certainly one of the most unique shooters I’ve ever played, driven by an...

Kaos Studios' Homefront is a game that has the unfortunate luck of being a first-person shooter in a post-Modern Warfare 2 world. It will inevitably draw comparisons to the Call of Duty franchise, and in many ways, Homefront won't live up to that stand...

Recently, first person shooters all seem to be clones, so the developers of Homefront tried to change it up. In Homefront you control an American that has to fight a force that not only has invaded the U.S. but a force that has complete control of seem...
