81 - Heavy Rain

Year: 2010
Platform(s): PlayStation 3
Designer(s): David Cage
Developer: Quantic Dream
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

"More an interactive story than a video game, Heavy Rain is the groundbreaking title from developer Quantic Dream that makes a strong argument for games as the new standard in interactive fiction. Along with timed events and context-sensitive sequences, Heavy Rain also makes frequent use of the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller, as players will often have to mimic realistic actions during the game. Whether it's running from an armed assailant or trying to question a suspect, Heavy Rain's constantly branching chains of events ensure that playing through the story usually results in vastly different endings for each character.
