According to gamespot.com, it doesn&#8217;t help visually impaired people that some characters in video games &#8220;are actually invisible.&#8221;

A 47-year-old wheelchair-bound mother who had a stroke 18 months ago has been forced to do her banking on the street after staff at her local NatWest branch refused to lift her up two steps &#8220;for health and safety reasons.&#8221;
