So after finishing “Bioshock 2”, I finally decided to start the game “Heavy Rain” next. Which I already started a few days ago, I played a lot of this game before work today. The game “Heavy Rain” got a lot of negative critique, but in my opinion, I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever played on the PS3 so far. People accused this game of being a boring interactive movie. I would have to agree and disagree both on that. While it is an interactive movie, it’s actually a game too. It’s almost like a role playing game. You have to make careful decisions in this game or bad things will happen ahead if you make the wrong decision.

In this game you don’t just play one character. You play 4 different characters throughout the game. You play, Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, FBI agent Norman Jayden, and Det. Scott Shelby. I like all the characters but I think that Norman Jayden guy is a badass character, and I think he deserves his own game as a spinoff. The game tells the story of an architect, Ethan Mars, who has a family, he learns about the Origami serial killer. The Origami serial killer is actually a child killer and of course, the game’s mission is to hunt down the killer.

You can play the characters while the movie is still going which is cool. The game has quite a bit of nudity too. The best part is that you can actually play Madison Paige naked while she’s taking a shower. The game shows the privates and everything. After playing this game for a while, it got me thinking, “No wonder so many want David Fincher to direct this live action movie, the game is pretty close to the movie, “Se7en”.

So far, I’m impressed with the game. Probably the best game in my collection. It should be a live action movie. I think David Fincher is a perfect choice of a director if they can get him for it…but who would play the characters in the live action version?

The Ethan Mars role, I think David Duchovny might be perfect for that character. What about Norman Jayden? When I looked at Norman in the game, he looked almost exactly like Mark Wahlberg, so Marky Mark would be my pick. For Madison Paige, a young actress would be better for her, in the picture above is Madison, so who does she reminds you of? She looks a little more like Jennifer Connelly or Famke Janssen. As for Scott Shelby, Robert Deniro might be good for him. So there’s my casting pick for the live action version.

The live action version is in the works, they just haven’t confirmed a director yet, so hopefully it will be Fincher.

I just started the game, so I don’t know who the Origami killer is yet, but I do have a feeling it’s one of those main 4 characters though. I think the gameplay is very cool, unique and different. You can actually play in a movie, that’s what’s so cool about it. Games haven’t done that before. Most importantly I just love the story ’cause I love serial killer fiction.
