Heavy Rain

OMG. I recently started playing the PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain game and it's a game changer "pun intended".

What other game is story based, forces you to make choices that change the path the characters take. I've never played a game with this high level of submersion. Fighting in this game is intense, it's all about timing and hitting the right button(s) at the same time. One character has asthma, so you must know where his inhaler is at all times or you could die.

And die you can. There are four characters: Ethan, Madison, Jayden and Shelby. I'm at the beginning of the game, but even where I am (3 hours in) I'm invested. There was one moment where I almost killed a character. I survived but it was so exhilarating. I like the intensity of the First Person Shooters but games like this just blow me away.

Click the title for more information. I can't speak to the story too much because there are spoilers everywhere. If you have a PS3, you must play this game.
