Gotta say

I'm playing this PS3 game called Heavy Rain and it's really, really good. Sort of a combination procedural/choose-your-own-adventure/adventure game. Full of odd and impressive moments that I think move the whole genre forward.

Trust me, in 10 years, there'll be game directors that get awards the way theater and film directors do.

  1. Oooh. Yeah. I saw a piece on that game a few weeks ago, and was going to ask you and Lamb about it (namely, whether it's the game that will finally make me buy a PS3).

  2. It's super cool. But the voice acting? HORRID.

    Compared to what? The amazing voice acting in other video games?

  4. somehow it just seems more horrid than most. They don't even seem to have decent American accents--they're all off somehow.

  5. I dunno. It's a French developer, so the accents are off. But I think as far as basic acting goes, in a video game, I've seen far worse.
