Game: Heavy Rain

Hubby told me about this game a few weeks ago. I'm not really partial to computer games so I wasn't too interested but he told me you could shape the way the game ends up, kind of like an interactive movie. I like things like that so we hired it from Blockbuster last night and have been fixed to our TV ever since.

'Heavy Rain^[10][11] is an interactive drama video game developed by Quantic Dream exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game is directed by Quantic Dream's founder and CEO David Cage,^[12]. Heavy Rain's story is a dramatic thriller modeled after film noir, centred around four protagonists involved with the mystery of the Origami Killer, a serial killer who uses extended periods of rainfall to drown his victims. Ethan Mars is a father who is trying to save his son from being the next victim, while investigative journalist Madison Paige, FBI profiler Norman Jayden, and private detective Scott Shelby are each trying to track down clues to the Origami Killer's identity.

The player interacts with the game by performing actions highlighted on screen related to motions on the controller, and in some cases, performing a series of quick time events during fast-paced action sequences. The player's decisions and actions during the game will affect the narrative; the main characters can be killed, and certain actions may lead to different scenes and endings.'

Apparently there are 44 different endings. The graphics and shit are amazing and the way it develops feels more like a movie than a game. You can use your ps3 controller in a way I've never seen it used before. I'd definitely recommend it (and I hate computer games).
