Heavy Rain
A very intense and compelling experience
The trophy one unlocks right upon finishing the first chapter is "Thank you for supporting Interactive Drama", so that's exactly what Heavy Rain was in the minds of its creators and what it really is as a game.
It sort of feels like playing a movie and you decide how it should go on and proceed.
It is an intense, unique experience and one just wants to keep playing to see the next scene, drive the next character, get nearer to solve the mystery.
Playing it in hard mode it's not particularly difficult if one's used to the SixAxis controller. It certainly does require a good doses of reflexes but that's true for most games.
Probably the most difficult scene is at Mad Jack's, when you have like a 10 sequence, your fingers only won't probably be enough so get ready to put your nose on the pad as well :P!
Anyhow, apart from the commands it mostly is a matter of choices, one has to chose how to impersonate the characters, what path to walk.
By impersonating all various characters you also basically experience various methods of investigation:
- the advanced ARI of FBI agent Norman Jayden
- the private-eye way with Scott Shelby
- the assault journalist with Madison Paige
- the desperate father with Ethan Mars
Obviously everyone has his/her own peculiarities and it's very intriguing to impersonate them, seeing things from their point of view etc.
This is a gaming experience that really shouldn't be missed!!!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
