Got the swapper on sale recently, taking my seew time to start  :mrgreen:

Heavy Rain I always wanted to play but I didn't own PS3 so I never did, but I watched allot of let's plays and really dig the game, did you finish it already or?

I finished both Swapper and Heavy Rain in one go because I couldn't possibly stop playing either before the end. Unlike what I thought before, Heavy Rain actually isn't that easy. And not boring at all either even though it consists entirely of QTEs. The absence of failure state means you are actually punished when you fail, rather than just being forced to retry until you do it correctly. It's a bit like playing an ironman game.

The Swapper I loved because the puzzles are really something else than most puzzle games, and the subject is probably the most interesting I've ever seen in a videogame.

Forgot that I wanted to try out Heavy Rain (but generally don't buy games new for console, especially if it's single player and will likely only play it once or twice).  I'm going to pick up Heavy Rain, even though I likely won't get a chance to play it for over a month.

Thanks for reminding me :)

I liked heavy rain... It was pretty unique as far as games go.

I still have it for PS3... been a bout a year since I beat it the first time, maybe its time for a second go.
