Regarding the voice acting, I had the floppy disc version of the first game so I never got to hear the voice acting but our techs deserve major props for that :)

I just got to the part where you were talking about the control scheme and yes, it's clunky but it's also used in the games you named that were inspired by Alone in the Dark, mostly the Resident Evil series :)

I am not sure why we had to use arrows for everything back then, maybe it was a DOS limitation or something of the sort?

edit: I would recommend that when you talk about the voice acting you give it a minute, if possible, to actually shine. It could go something like this:

"This game has some great voice acting etc. etc." pan to a book or something and let the game speak for a bit and then go back to reviewing it.

Then again that's just my way of doing things. Great review all in all :)

Maybe I've been too busy *sunglasses* playing games?

:P I am not sure as of right now, but you never know what the future holds. Believe me, we are well aware of the demand :D
