Homecoming is bad, but the little brother actually looked like one of my little brothers when the game came out, so it always resonated with me. I played that game way more than I should have. Unfortunately it also resulted in my departure from the series, as I haven't played any of the Silent Hill games that followed.
Origins is great, save that your character has really, really, really deep pockets. Seriously, if it's not bolted down to the floor, he can use it as a weapon, and most of it he can cart around for a while. I recall beating that game with a wide assortment of hammers, screwdrivers, kitchen knives, wrenches, meat cleavers, and all manner of other objects to beat, hack, or bludgeon monsters to death with. Oh, but it also has one of the weirdest monster designs, the floating head cage. Those things suck. Run if you see one.
