Real men need a utility belt

Few games manage to get you excited about simple things, but Alone in the Dark has managed to make the simple inventory screen into something worth writing about. Rather than pressing a button to bring up a standard screen showing your items, in Alone in the Dark you are presented with your own belt, holding whichever items you have in your possession - you're still in-game. It's a minor thing but one that should add a lot to the immersion factor and something that shows the developers are making an effort to give gamers a fresh feeling game.
