If you don't like the faith bit, don't use it.

It's not central to the game. It's just an option.

Actually, the review said "Most horror games ignore the issue of religious faith. This is a little strange, really, since it’s very relevant to the whole horror genre." The phrase "very relevant" really doesn't suggest "It's an option". Quite the opposite in fact.

The blurb for the review said "It puts the Faith back in horror gaming" -- again, not really suggesting it's an option.

However, if faith is entirely optional, it still doesn't answer the question of why anyone would want to include it since it completely buggers up any attempt at investigation. And, again based on the review, <b>Blood Games</b> does seem to involve investigation.

I can understand why religion might be considered a valid addition to such a game, but not faith.
