Gamalive reviews Heavy Rain : "a never forget game"

"Some will not try it and just say : blah, this is a QTE, I'm not interested. (it's actually so much than that). If it gives them pleasure so they will miss an incredible strong experience who will you take the guts. So strong, so powerful, so...

Heavy Rain is one of those games that once finished, leave an indelible mark in the hearts of gamers. The kind of game that, once the controller asked, thinking. A real game mature shows that the video game, not a bunch of big guys full of testosterone that kills aliens or a mustached plumber. Thank you, David Cage. Thank you to the team of Quantic Dream. And pity those who completely miss this unique title.

[movements]

It's a winner then...

[snaz27]

i was excited about it anyway, when i first heard about heavy rain but i never exspected these reviews! i thought it would devide the gaming world more, ie some loving it, some hating it... but so far its pretty unanimous, this game i an AAA hit! not long now and i can experience it too! whoop whoop!

[GreenRingOfLife]

This game is gonnna be awesome. I thnk my favorite part of it is talking to someone by pressing either square, x, triangle, or circle.

[Bungie]

day 1 buy

the game looks fantastic

[FamilyGuy]

Yeah, I thought we'd be seeing a lot of mixed reviews for this one, love or hate, but they have all been positive so far. Good job Quantic Dream, you're appealing to more than just the Fahrenheit crowd now, either that or the gaming media has matured/evolved...

[nix]

ha ha.. i know who... q:

great review. now that i have finished Demon's Souls, i'm ready for it. though i don't know what to do with 300,000 souls that i got. i tried to level up but one has to finish 1-1 to be able to do that. i tried but the black phantom invaded me. must play it offline and level up and then wait for this game.

[Dutch Boogie]

And the trend continues. PS3 games innovating and owning at the same time. Heavy Rain could very well be the most memorable video game story ever told and GOTY2010. I just can't wait dammit.

[ZootHornRollo]

why is every one screaming and yelling over a movie with QTE's??
this is a joke if you ask me and the more people ranting and raving only proves they dont want to play games but to watch and wait for there next QTE.

sad day when a movie with QTE's is held high. this is worst that masseffect 2 this is sad. pure saddness.

i really hope people are trolling this game. but if there not it only proves you know NOTHING about games and gaming.

[thereapersson]

It's nice to know someone actually understands what Quantic Dream is trying to achieve with this title. They are trying to leave an indelible mark on the gaming industry, and those who can appreciate this for what it truly is will agree.

Attn haters: Continue hating on the fact that there's QTE in this game, and continue ignoring the fact that this game has more of a cohesive, well-written story than almost any game released this generation. Meanwhile, the people who enjoy gaming for the pure sake of enjoyment will be playing this title and will thank themselves for dedicating the time in their lives to experience something that only comes around once in a blue moon.

Kudos to Sony for supporting Quantic, and kudos to Quantic themselves for continuing to push forward in a market full of stale ideas and bland stereotypes.

edit:

And just as I finish typing this post, ZootHorn comes along and proves my point to a "T". Thanks, mate! :)

edit 2:

Your disagrees are delicious! Continue proving my point because you can't provide a positive argument of your own :)

[nix]

ah... do i hear a GOTY contender already?

anyway looks like all those strong GOTY contenders are going to be from Sony again.

CAN'T WAIT!

[ZootHornRollo]

im not your mate buddy

your not a gamer. your a person that sits on there comp all day trolling forums.

good job for maknig a movie with QTE's this doesnt help any one.

this well only ruin games to come. people well read all the bs and be like well lets make more QTE's i had enough of them back in 1997. its not to make games that blow your EFFING mind away not make you watch a crappy movie shaving your face and drinking oj.

you all have been trolled in to this bs.

there other games sucked as with this one. and you have no taste if you think this game is good or enjoy games like this.

you have no taste at all

[thereapersson]

Assumptions AND personal attacks?

Yes, because the time between my comments is nearly a day apart, I sit on the computer all day and troll N4G. Riiiight....

Who's trolling who again, considering you seem to hate this type of game, and yet here you are trying your hardest to make your point known?

Sounds like someone's a little frustrated :)

[GamerPS360]

diff people with different taste. I have almost same feel of this game as you but I am not going to say that they have bad taste in gaming because they like something different than what I like.

Beside, reviews are just an opinion. Gimme Halo3 and I will rate it 2. Gimme Mass Effect 2 and I will rate it 10.

[Guido]

You can't play this game on the PC... That's what I love about Sony, they score the best exclusives and they make them for the PS3 alone. It's a reason for being happy about the PS3 reliability and how they utilize the power of the console. Rather than having to deal with a PC port, they make the game for the PS3 alone and make it awesome and not so cookie cutter like.

[sikbeta]

YEAH!!! DC made a MASTERPIECE

I Knew this game will be Amazing just from the Begining, if you read all the interviews about the man, you see How Much Effort he Put in This Game, my only concern was that QD was going to make a Crazy-Plot ruining the Game like with Indigo/Fahrenheit (IMO), but NO, they make sure to DO a GREAT JOB

HR FTW!!!

[boodybandit]

How could you tell what he sounded like?
I feel like I lost IQ points having read his (ZootHornRollo's) post.
He reminds me of a real life Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies.

On Topic:
HR looks amazing and I cant wait to "experience" it. Games like this is exactly what the industry needs.

[bjornbear]

what? You hope people TROLL this game? =P fear much?

and this will RUIN gaming? Yet the countless brainless shooters won't?

Have you ever heard of Myst? Abe's Oddity?

Some of the most iconic games in the world, and FAR less engaging than Heavy Rain (or AS engaging)

You know NOTHING of what you say, and as a gamer that enjoys all sorts of games, You to me are not =/

then again I agree, spending your day on N4G can be sad....(looks at himself xD)

[lowcarb]

I'm sure the game will be decent but so far these reviews seem kind of iffy! Sony and it's fans could be setting up the media to not give honest opinions by being singled out. People should wait for real reviews before falling for this said type of review nonsense.

[N4Flamers]

Ive had this game on reserve since last year, and im doing the four day challenge online. I personally love when they take mature subject matter and treat it that way.

I know I will love this game my favorite part of this game will be that I dont have 12 year olds screaming in my ear every time I play.

Im glad this is getting good reviews and I cant wait to get my hands on it.

[nycredude]

greenringoflife

So it's ok to talk to someone by pressing a button in Mass Effect but it's not ok to do in a game because its only on Ps3 right?!

[jack_burt0n]

zoot ur trolling ppl that use N4G does that include MGSRthehdversion LOL

[SPACEBALL 1]

the originallity of this game is through the roof. cant wait to play this game.

[f789790]

Yeah I was expecting mainly 8/10. Good news!

[Rockox]

This game makes me jealous I don't own a PS3.

I hope David Cage and the rest of the Quantic Dream team receive critial AND financial success with this game. It looks as though they've earned it.

[Killjoy3000]

I find it funny how these 360 fanboys now have nothing left to do but clamor to Sony news in a poor attempt to use reverse psychology and sarcasm. I bet if the N4G community starting agreeing with his comments all the time he may go back to the troll of his former self. Now that would be funny. The moral shift of a troll is always entertaining. Just look at Giant Enemy Crab. He is so impartial, it's impossible for him to not inspire some kind of chuckle.

[pixelsword]

but that's very simlar to... Mass Effect 1 and 2, except you get to push it faster! And push up or down before you push your button!!! Wow, big difference.

Don't forget, some of us own multiple consoles.

[DatNJDom81]

Its cool if you haters dont like this game. But why do you have to go around trolling in every PS3 article there is. Sony exclusives have been sh!tting all over 360 lately. I only turned on my 360 for Mass Effect 2 and wont turn it on again till SCC. To be honest, Mass Effect wasnt that great either. Maybe when it comes to PS3, itll have more content and I can replay it again (Bioshock). SO in conclusion, Heavy Rain, along with most PS3 exclusives, SH!T on most of what the 360 has. Let me give you a minute to digest that.......................... .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .............................. . .....................

Heres some kibbles and bits to help digest the "disappointment".

[Dtoxz]

Because God of War 3 comes out NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!

That will be GOTY.

Heavy Rain will just be an awesome game :)

[vhero]

The modern day Myst not only in feeling but now in ratings too.

[Lemmiwinks]

role playing games have the same thing and no one complains even fallout 3 you pressed buttons to talk to people..dragon age watched my friend play that there was alot of pressin one button to talk to people.qte actually makes aa gamer get into the game more cuz you dont know what your gunna press so it gets intense. and you feel like ur actually doing it. cuz in real life the time to dodge someone with a bat is a press of a button. like when ur playin gow games and they mix the buttons up on u lol......say im biased cuz im not even tho i only on a ps3 and a gaming rig im interested in alan wake and splinter cell. ill admit when a game looks cool and if i choose too ill be playing the supior version of your so called exclusives hah

on topic really awesome review

[redsquad]

The petulance of that supposedly 'witty' remark proves that HEAVY RAIN goes way over your head. Back to shooters for you, sunshine!

And that 'Zoot' person pretending to be an authority on gaming doesn't even warrant a dignified response.

[ikkeweer]

But it better not be one of those hype-games like GTA4 again, still at 4 percent on that (I know I never gave it fair chance, the phone-calls just bugged the hell outta me)

I watched the first nine minutes (which turned me off) and I don't wan't to watch the videos further in the game (I hate deja-vu in games). So I'll buy it and blame the reviewers if I don't like it.
Don't get me wrong, I love games and I love movies, but the peanut-butter jelly thing has gotten me all skeptic on this game.

[Red Panda]

I also can't wait for this game to be released. Its nice to look forward to something other than a shooter. I do enjoy shooters and cant wait for BFBC2 but I think most of you know what I mean. These types of games are a delicate and rare gem. I shall take this gem and play the crap out of it!

[CernaML]

Wow. Nothing but great reviews so far. GOTY contender?

[NeoBasch]

For most it will be. At least, once they play the game that is. I can't believe people are doubting Heavy Rain's potential. There will be dozens upon dozens of perfect scores for Heavy Rain, just as there was for Mass Effect 2 and Uncharted 2 before it. All three are treading new ground and should be regarded as such. This is what the industry needs, and what gamers have been asking for since the first text adventures. Congratulations, Quantic Dream, you deserve it!

Preorder should be payed off in full soon enough. Just wish the US of A would be able to get the Collector's Edition too (and all other territories that are missing out). :(

On another note, February looks to be raping my wallet. Dante's Inferno, BioShock 2 (CE), White Knight Chronicles: International Edition, and Heavy Rain. O_O March doesn't seem to be letting up either.

[ElementX]

I want some reputable reviews, not French sites I've never heard of with shoddy google translations. I have it preordered and I don't doubt it's amazing, but I'd like some reviews from bigger sites.

[snaz27]

is any one persons opinion more important or more valid than anothers? if anything these smaller sites have more reason to release a low contriversal score.. the guy loved the game, as have all the other reviews so far. dont worry your preorder is justified lol, but say a guy at ign says its pants, does that make it so? its just one guys opinion.

[Doc Sony]

I never get this statement does IGN plays games differently than other websites ?

An experience is an experience no matter who plays it.

So if one guy from IGN thinks it sucks or its not his type of game, you'll cancel your pre-order ?

[jack_burt0n]

its a french game expect its biggest market to be france and europe and tbh expect the lower brow US reviews to be the ones that dont 'get it' then u can be happily surprised if they do.

[Imalwaysright]

All reviewers are nothing more than journalists with an opinion. Some of you people act like they are some kind of experts in video games wich honestly baffles me!

[Pistolero]

No but these lesser sites are more prone to being run by fanboys....I don't doubt the game will be pretty good...but I agree with the guy above that I want to see reviews from sites that I have an idea about how they review games and what their history is.

[thereapersson]

What's to stop bigger sites from being run by fanboys as well? I'm sure that IGN, Gamespot and (especially) Gametrailers all have their preferences between reviewers. It's common knowledge in this day and age of modern gaming and console alliances fueled by fanboyism and advertising revenue...

[Jsynn7]

I'm sure that, when Alan Wake and Halo: Reach come out and this site gives them 10's, you won't care whether this site is "reputable" or not. You'll still call it a win.

Nice try though.

[bjornbear]

like gametrailers? LOL

just because a site is big doesn't make the review any more or less credible.

[NeoBasch]

Of course they would be the first to review the game. SCEE has been marketing HR heavily in the region. At least in terms of media awareness. I'm guessing they're hoping word of mouth will help sell this title. Probably the best way considering the new grounds they're trying to cover. European sites and print magazines will be the first to review it. For everyone else, I'm sure there's an embargo of some sort.

[ElementX]

@ 3.7, I don't even own a 360. I sold mine a year and a half ago

@ 3.9 Yes I've brought up my orientation in other conversations but this has nothing to do with it. My last comment about my orientation was that article about the most beautiful thing in Heavy Rain and I was completely sh!tfaced and surly. I'm sober now and you don't have to bring it up.

As for people disagreeing, I prefer sites I've actually heard of for reviews. If you don't like it, it's fine with me.

[baum]

I do not have a problem with you saying it's a no name site, I have a problem with the fact that you mention that they are french; is that relevant? That's like people sayin you're dumb because you're gay. I simply said I expected more from a gay guy. Also, france is very liberal towards gay people so it's even more surprising. So either you're a gay bigot or you don't think before you post.

And mods are morons, I don't see how I was offensive considering I used an adequate term to describe someone's sexual preferences

[ElementX]

Let me rephrase what I said originally. I'd rather read reviews from well known English speaking sites than "foreign" sites with shoddy google translations. I don't read French, German (well, a little), Spanish, whatever. Google translator does a horrible job of translating. Sure it's fine for a piece of software, but quite a bit is lost in translation, especially some complex words which can be used in gaming reviews. I prefer big name news sites in English, so nothing is lost, you understand exactly what the reviewer is trying to say.

[Man In Black]

Loved Fahrenheit before it went all Matrix on me. So I can't wait for this, especially as it won't have those stupid moments.

[Doc Sony]

AAA experience.

[Lirky]

I remember when i purchased manhunt1 and how it was said to be banned the following week. I wonder if heavy rain will be a game where this may happen again thats why in a way its better for ppl to just purchase the game before said things could happen.

[-MD-]

Gah.. Manhunt was such an awesome game..

[thereapersson]

I can't believe someone disagreed with you.

I loved the fact you could plug a headset into your PS2 and you would actually receive tips in your ear, just as Cash would. Manhunt was incredible; it's a shame the media and politicians had to blacklist its sequel as bad as they did.

[Gimped Hardware]

im sure once you play it for more than 10 minutes you will 'never forget how bad it is'

Seriously Sony we want games - we don't want more movies thrown at us.

Please release something this year that will compete with Mass Effect2 etc - i don't really want to sell my PS3 but it might come to that :/

[Christopher_Walken]

You guys sure are fast

[Karooo]

if you have one lol. all this trolling for what? just admit you were wrong buying a 360 and supporting microsoft, its not too late you can always buy a ps3 and experience hollywood style games like the previous year goty Uncharted 2.

[-MD-]

I laughed @ "we don't want more movies thrown at us."

[Madeline12]

LOL man Xbots sure hate this game.

[Michael-Jackson]

You have a PS3? your username? your not showing it are you?
Just admit that - semag on sah 063.

[awesomeperson]

Firstly, you didn't even read the articles, right? It especially says the beginning starts off slow for a reason.

Secondly, you can not sell something which you do not have.

[thereapersson]

Nice try, though :)

I love how your name is "gimped hardware" and you put up a picture of the PS3

And then you try to get people to take you seriously! LOL!!!

This has to be a Bungie gimmick...

[Shane Kim]

Hahahha, I really love how e tries to make a serious comment by saying "i don't really want to sell my PS3 but it might come to that :/" and making a sad smiley like "I'm serious guys". Hhaha your just another dumb bot in disguise. You don't own a PS3 so shut your gob.

[Trebius]

lol

Cry some more baby ...

You'll never play this game or any of our other great exclusives ... but I can play 90% of the 360 "Exclusives" and i dont even own a 360.

Enjoy your Halo in 11 months :)

[PimpHandHappy]

Mass Effect2 etc
lol

Halo 5
Crackdown 2
Splinter Cell 49

is that what you meant by "etc"
hahahahaha

[agent027]

You never owned a PS3 you dumbass bot. Continue with the jealousy, your tears are delicious.

[baum]

He's so dumb be bought one just to b!tch and say he got one and that he's selling it.

[dkgshiz]

Clearly no one agrees with you. 31 disagrees, 6 agrees. Hmm, no one gives a sh!t about your opinion so leave!

[DigitalHorror81]

You bots with your ignorant BS. You must enjoy coming in here with the 'first' comments to bash a game that is likely to be an amazing experience. It's morons like you that are satisfied with 95% of your games being shooters. Us PS3 folk on the other hand, like a little diversity.

[The_Beast]

u should put the shtbox

[exnihilonihilfit]

Sony is going to release something this year to compete with ME2... ME2.

It's coming, just like stories from Liberty City.

[Madeline12]

The rain of high scores keep pouring down ! 5 reviews so far all 9+ to 10.

Yep Goty underway if this trend continues.

[peterdawa]

Im already saving for this and god of war 3. i hope that if they make another game the killer would change on different play throughs, that way you will constantly be trying to figure out who the killer is. I salute quantic dreams for having the courage to make this game.

[jack_burt0n]

i expected blue toad to be like that but its not lol they need to realise randomly generated murder mystery can be done :) just will take some serious planning!

[Michael-Jackson]

Cry Xb1tches, bu.bu.bu more credible sites.

[Dutch Boogie]

"bu bu but Mass Effect 2 is getting 9 scores. It is teh bestest 360 gamez of all timesz" lol. Already dethrone by yet anothet ps3 masterpiece. Cry more xf@gs.

[Michael-Jackson]

^Also on PC, now where's my PC version of Heavy Rain? :( too bad Xbots.

[Dutch Boogie]

lol bots are just so retardedly easy to OWN. Their so cute.

[OmarJA-N4G]

Mass Effect 2 still a great game.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Epicness.

[kavka3]

Review

[young juice]

lieeeeeeees

[Dutch Boogie]

lol Mass Effect 2 already dethrone by yet another ps3 exclusive. Like i keep saying, "the 360 never stood a chance". I think GOTY2010 has been picked early by some sites.

Heavy Rain looks to be one of those games that people will be talking about in a decade from now. My children will never hear the end of it lol.

[Pistolero]

It's going to be a good game...but come on, you sound ridiculous.

[DeepInterludium]

Mass Effect 2 = Flavor of the month, everyone will forget about it/talk about how crappy it was just like what happened with ME1.

Heavy Rain = Redefining what a video game is.

[RamiHixxy]

If heavy rain NOT GOTY it will be God of war 3.

if God of war 3 NOT GOTY it will be heavy rain.

FACT!

[Doc Sony]

If not Heavy Rain or GOW3 it will be Gran Turismo 5.

If not Gran Turismo 5 it will be The Last Guardian or AGENT.

If not Gran Turismo 5, AGENT or The Last Guardian GOTY awards will be postponed this year.

[RamiHixxy]

Mass Effect 2..... hehehehehe

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
MWAWMAWMAWMAMWMWA
XBOTS<<<<<< <<<<<<

[RamiHixxy]

Bungie u NEED a PS3 to play Heavy Rain, You CANT PLAY Heavy Rain ON YOUR 360!

[Dutch Boogie]

lol i want what he is smoking. lala land sounds like a nice detour from reality.

[Michael-Jackson]

Sup bots, I'm still waiting for the Mediocre scores that you promised us? where are they? :(

[arakouftaian]

Im sure i will
enjoy it a lot

[Gimped Hardware]

I think that Heavy Turd will flop on release - if it sales more than 500,000 in it's lifetime i would be amazed.

It's not that i dont like movies,it's the fact that i can't justify paying £40 for it on a console that will probably YLOD on me at any moment.

PS1 = 6/10
PS2 = 8/10
PS3 = epic fail

Xbox360 - where gaming dreams come true.

[twoface]

Has your mind RRODed? Too much heat switching on your xbox360 while waiting for games to come?

[kemiru]

Good news. For me, Heavy Rain is one of the most interesting game in current generation.

[Gimped Hardware]

Fixed free of charge :D

[saint_john_paul_ii]

thisis the same thing that i felt when i played Indigo Prophecy. yet like Uncharted 1, it didnt get the attention it deserved...

Im really happy though that Quantic Dream continued to use the same concept that they believed in. Possibly one of the most respected devs of this gen.

[Shaman]

This game is the shiznits.Absolute must have!!!

[Jaxer7]

Fahrenheit(Indigo Prophecy) was a really quite something.
And even that game wasn't just a movie with QTE.
And i feel sad for people who that much stupid to not to see how big и complicated Heavy Rain's game mechanic is.
Plus Cage is truly kick-ass script righter(let's just forgive him for Fahrenheit ending).

[Dev8 ing]

I will be buying this game day 1 in the hopes that we get Omikron 2.

[Gimped Hardware]

Let me explain;

Halo:reach = epic game
Mass effect2 = epic game
Alan Wake = epic game

GOW3 = game (altohugh shoddy)
GT5 = game (although half-baked)
MAG = game (although noones bought it)

Heavy Rain = Movie
Star Wars = Movie
The Lost Boys = Movie

Surely i can't be any clearer than that can i?

Xbox360 - jump in,play more,stay in.

PS3 - jump in,play less,jump out.

[twoface]

/S A R C A S M

[Admiral_Benson]

That's not an explanation that's an extremist fanboy opinion.

"Alan Wake = epic game" - Seeing as you obviously must have played it yourself in order to provide such a statement would you care to provide a review as i can't seem to find a review for Alan Wake anywhere else?

Wheather you believe it's a movie or not, Heavy Rain has been getting various solid 90%+ reviews from GAMING sites so GAMERS must be enjoying it.

To quote yourself: Gimped Hardware = Epic Fail

[Rockox]

In related news, "The Lost Boys" owns hard.

"You're eating maggots, Michael. How do they taste?"

[hybridtheory12]

Omg gimped needs to gtfo. I saw no1 dissing ANY console till this poor excuse for a person came here. and Heavy rain is 5/5 and it will be a success, hes just mad none of his games are worthy of such praise.

[gameman]

spin spin spin bot you can't change the facts

[Karooo]

seriously dude no one cares about 360 anymore dude. I knw how it must feel like to be stuck with a 360 lmao.

you are one of the most jealous people i have met in n4g lmao. PS3 is the best console this generation with true exclusives.

[tulholdren]

I'm so excited and ready to play this game. Looks like another great game for PS3 owners.

[divideby0]

Sony is all about risk taking and innovation and this gen..they are clearly proving they are thinking way beyond...
I do not see HR getting such high review scores, than again I am about 1/2 way through ME2 and even though its a great game..the score was to high

[Thoreau]

good but overated... heavy rain will be something new.....

[tiamat5]

Yes!!!! Good way to start the year. MAG good, Heavy Rain excellent, Bayonetta fixed . Next stop God of War 3. Prediction: EPIC AWESOMENESS TO THE THOUSANDTH POWER, Oh and White Knight Cronicles and Modnation Racers will be good too

[artsaber]

A new gaming experience with great reviews. A new IP too, nice way to invest in your gaming audience Sony.

[AliTheBrit19]

The more news that comes out about this game the more I can see it sitting on my game shelf :)

[dkgshiz]

"Xbox360 - where gaming dreams come true." Your like a generic cheesy advertisement for M$. Go drink some antifreeze please :)

[DigitalAnalog]

***Looking at those who claimed (Heavy Rain is da FAILDTH).

-End statement

[ChineseDemocracy]

Ahh! so stoked for this game, the wait is killing me!

[Rowsdower]

i've been enjoying the sh*t out of MAG, and Heavy Rain is just the sort of change of pace I've been looking for. I like shooters as much as the next person but this and Alan Wake seem to be offering some more heady thought provoking stuff. Uno dia para mi.

[hamoor]

best racing game in 2010=GT5
best shooter=idk maybe kz3 or re3 or reach
Best rpg=mass effect 2
Best action game=gow III
best horror game=alan wake or DS2
2010 GOTY=HEAVY RAIN

[ian72]

Getting nice reviews so far. I will be getting this day 1.
Zoot and green ring you are both pathetic. If you dont like then so be it, but stop been stupid fanboys.

[Dev8 ing]

Damn I hope I can get the OIC leadership in MAG before this comes out. I am excited for this. A little disappointed it wont be coming out on PC though.

[Dorwrath]

Great, looks like my one and only purchase for my PS3 this year looks good. Day 1 buy for me.

As for GOTY, depends. If its GOTY voted by the public, then no. Simply because people that vote forget anything that comes early in the year. If it's magazines or online sites then maybe.

Anyway it's way to early to start nominating GOTY, most of the contenders are not even out yet.

[jalen247]

I can't wait till Feb. 23rd! This game will be amazing.

[redsquad]

It seems that some seriously chunky 'humble pie' is being served to the haters right about now.
Equally, those of us with open minds who like to the see the medium of 'gaming' expanded upon in new and exciting ways appear to have been vindicated once again.

[redsquad]

Do the bleating zombies seriously believe that HEAVY RAIN would be getting 9.5's and 5's (out of 5) if it was indeed just "Dragon's Lair 2.0" as they so childishly claim?

Mindless hatred born from jealousy and spite - What a way to live...
