North Korea is perhaps best known for its sabre rattling, amusing-yet-terrifying card tricks, and dogged patronage of Acme's second-hand rocket store.
But by looking past this colourful attention-seeking frivolity and thousands of famine deaths each year, you'll find the beating heart of a nation poised to rise up and conquer the United States.
At least that's according to developers Kaos Studios, who are betting you'll suspend disbelief long enough to swallow Homefront's achingly tenuous premise. Cue an introductory cinematic detailing the next fifteen years in which a unified Korean peninsular occupies the continental USA following a fortuitous chain of events. Kaos are no strangers to speculative conflicts; their decidedly average 2008 Frontlines: Fuel of War also invested heavily in the concept of a East vs. West skirmish for resources.

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.
Kind of over the reviews with Homefront the scores range from an F to an A its a little ridiculous. I personally love the MP however there r issues wit it also the SP sux but I still like the game. I would rate it a a definite rent to try, if u like it obviously buy it. As for putting a number or letter grade by any game i think is just stupid.
i think its a worthy purchase, having fun with the game on ps3. weapons feel and sound great and atmosphere and setting makes it feel a little fresh. but i would also consider crysis2 and killzone3 those 2 games are better experiences alround. i got all 3 so im good :)
