You must be playing RE4 on Wii. I can only imagine the f'd-up-ness of the Wii controls for that game. But on Gamecube and PS2, it's one of my favorite games ever, and the only game in the last ten or so years that I've played through multiple times. The PS2 version has more levels after you finish the game, but there's something about the feel of the shoulder triggers on the gamecube controller that make it more fun to play on gamecube (plus the graphics are better than the PS2 version).
I just got Silent Hill Origins for PSP, and it forces you to control the character using that awful nub instead of the cross-stick. Still, it's pretty fun for the hour or so that I've played it so far.

Question of the Day: Oh yes. We're in the middle of our first heavy snowfall right now. It started late last night, and we've probably got about eight inches out there now.

In other news, our plow guy this season has been a big disappointment so far.

I am, and I got it specifically because reviews said it had the best controls of any game ever, and that they did a really good job of putting it on the Wii.
