Canadian may get a break.

Preorder and get a $5 gift card.... so if the ep is $5, then it's worth it.
Anyone estimate the price of the dlc?
Preordering at Bestbuy then. 8DSolidSnakex said:It's $5.

In our new feature, the Connected Consoles team will be taking an up-and-coming game and presenting two different points of view; why the game will rock, and why the game will fail. Remember, these are the views of the individual writers; you can agree with one of them, both, or neither. This is not a review, but a view of the game before we even play it.
I know. How brave I am. Putting myself on the line like this. You see, even hinting that your hype meter isnt ticking away like an over-excited Geiger counter about Heavy Rain instantly puts you in front of the firing squad. Oh, you just dont get it, they say. 'You just hate it because it isnt an FPS'. 'Yeah, I can see why you dont like the look of it; some people just dont understand beautiful art'.
Heavy Rain has gained an almost religious following. And while they all bow down to their burning wicker men, Im left in the bushes, looking on, feeling left out, and cold. And naked. But thats a different story for a different time. So, why does everyone seem so excited for Quantic Dreams Fahrenheit-a-like? I honestly dont know. Heres why Im just not bothered about Heavy Rai
The fact it doesnt have guns is seen by many as a plus. I have to agree, if Madison Paige were wondering around her apartment with an AK-47 (With red dot sight, duh), it would detract a little something from the feel of the game. But its not about the gun. Its what the gun represents; fun. An objective. A thing to use. A tool, if you will. Because, as much as David Cage will disagree, Heavy Rain will just be a series of Quick Time Event-using mini-games. There, I said it. Shoot me. You can argue as much as you want that its art and that you dont need guns to keep things interesting, but at the end of the day you do such things as help your son with homework, change a babys diaper and buy a balloon. Thats not fun.
The only thing that would make it fun and engaging is if there was a reason for doing those things, or a sense of accomplishment and progression gained from them. Thats where the story comes in. Its got a nice little set up kids get taken, found dead in rain water, and you have to find who-dun-it. However, publications that have reviewed the game (i.e. OPM) point out that the story is paper thin, Channel 5 nonsense. If thats true, then whats the point in all the activities? Why change your babys diaper if its only going to either not progress the story, or subject your mind to even more Lost-style plot madness (were talking Season 5, oh-my-god-I-dont-understand-a-single-thing Lost).
Yes, it has good graphics. Yes, it has a range of characters, and at least a little bit of atmosphere. But if you look past the Oh, isnt it art stuff, youre going to be spending 10 hours or so completing meaningless, mind-numbing and out-of-context tasks with no sense of complete or advancement. And face it; some parts of the game are just an excuse to flash some next-gen tit.

You chose well. Youre now part of the Bureau. At the front line.
Youre a key part of catching this killer before he strikes again.
Youre going to have to go back into his head. Learn how to identify and
profile suspects. You start here.

The games moved up a notch. No detail is too small. Watch everything.
Stay sharp. But your official powers might not be enough. Are you ready to
bend the rules to catch the killer? As always, its up to you. Two
suspects are out there

there may be more to consider.
As the pressure mounts, we reach the endgame. Who fits the profile? Because
the Bureau needs a name
Using everything youve learned over the three events, your final action
is to identify the killer.
