Down Is The New Up

I rented Silent Hill Homecoming from Blockbusters. Big fucking mistake. In what is surely the most idiotic oversight of the last decade, Jason Allen – lead designer – omitted the option to invert the camera aim. What the fuck?

Those of us who find the typical default camera unworkable - and we represent a substantial portion of the gaming population – simply cannot see this game through to its conclusion. The impractical controls prove an insurmountable obstacle to our enjoyment of the game. It’s like trying to undo a bra with broken fingers – fucking frustrating. It’s a shame because the bleak and oppressive atmosphere that Silent Hill has perfected is rendered utterly redundant. The only horrifying thing about this game is Jason Allen’s fatal lapse in judgement.

What an almighty tit.
