About this Episode

Quantic Dream, in 2005 broke away from “traditional” video games by developing a cinematic interactive experience known as Indigo Prophecy aka Fahrenheit (over seas). Fast forward five years later. The same type of immersing experience is released exclusively on the PS3 known as Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain for lack of a better word is different than most video games that are on the store shelves. One would argue that it isn’t even a video game. However, that conversation did not take place during the review since that alone can be discussed at another day and time. The guys welcome Ryan Pickard, who is one-half of Welp, That Sucked, to the show since it was his pick. Sit back and listen to the guys discuss about how their experience felt foreign than most video games now a days. Enjoy!!Support the show
