I’m sure many of you checked out our Heavy Rain review. I know I did. 
But this game is getting more controversial every day. We know Madison, one of the four playable characters undresses in her shower scene where she.. wait for it… gets nude! But more nakedness is hitting the news. Glitch? I say nay. Careful, nudity is just around this post…
The emotional driven, Heavy Rain, developed by Quantic Dream and published by SCEE is finally here after their teaser debut from E3 2006. Your morals will be tested immediately and you’ll quickly find yourself immersed thanks to the graphically charged cinematic storyline and unique decision based scenarios. The gritty camera scenes and musical scores add to this dark psychological thriller and you’ll swear you’re controlling movie actors. But this is not the first psychological thriller directed by David Cage, he and Quantic Dream also developed 2005’s PS2 hit Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in US). Five years have passed and now David Cage has the opportunity to present his latest masterpiece on the PS3. In Heavy Rain, your smallest decisions can change everything making each play one-of-a-kind and different every time. There are no right or wrongs, but instead choices. Choices that come with risks and rewards. Heavy Rain is an emotional rollercoaster blended fittingly with love, addiction, suicide, life and death. Just a bit of warning, unless your “numb” this game will consume you as a player while at the same time test you as a human being.

You know, where you have to press an onscreen button at that exact moment. Well Heavy Rain is full of QTEs and you better get familiar with the layout of the controller before you play.

If you’ve ever played Sammy Sosa’s High Heat Baseball, the saying “It’s Soo Real” would ring a bell. But honestly, ‘Heavy Rain’ looks to be the real next-gen console game. I can’t stress how detailed this game looks right now and if the developers concentrate this much attention to the rain drops and the sheen it leaves on the face, imagine what else they will do.
...shrimp ka-bob, shrimp scampi, shrimp a-la-mode...
