Heavy Rain is it's own unique style of play very few games like it. Honestly it should not be called a game it is almost like a video version of the books back in the day "Choose your own Adventure".

Actually, that sounds pretty awesome to me. Kind of like an interactive movie.

Yeah exactly I just want to make sure you understood how it was. I thought it was kind of neat but the subject matter depressed me.

Closest thing I've ever heard of is a PS2 called Fahrenheit that was developed by the same company. Thing is Heavy Rain is a very unique game. Hopefully more companies will develop similar games in the future but for now Heavy Rain is in a genre all by itself.

Mass Effect might be the closest thing and it's a great game in its own right but you'll be hard pressed to find a game like Heavy Rain.

Finally got and played. It's ok, graphics are kinda shit compared to COD. I guess that's part of the trade-off for bigger maps and having 32 players.

Yeah but Black Ops is just a better version of World at War nothing touches Modern Warfare 2

You just think they would be a little better prepared given the high number of pre-orders they had. I tried to play last night with some friends and we couldn't get in at all.

COD4 is still the king of shooters. MW2 was a little too over the top for me, but at least it still plays nice and smooth like COD4. The thing I can't stand about Black Ops is the lag.

I have been trying to to get into COD Black Ops and it is just not happening, it is a OK game but it was no where near as much fun as MW2 or Halo Reach. I think I am going to sell it here soon.

I guess the lag is a problem becasue I keep getting it as well, frustrating. Is it to many folks playing?

COD4 and MW2 never had these lag issues. Seems to be a Treyarch issue to me.
