I have never tried lifting rain before, and I’m sure that if I did, I would end up crying like the woman pictured above. It’s a good thing that I try to refrain from physical movement as much as possible, and instead of any form of exercise, I’ll try playing Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain when it comes out in February.

If you’re unfamiliar with Quantic Dream, they’re the same dudes who did Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy, an action/adventure game of the same nature as Heavy Rain. I loved Farenheit, as it told a pretty decent story and managed to push the envelope of “video gamez iz art” somewhat.

Heavy Rain is a PS3 exclusive, and Quantic Dream has announced the perks for the collector’s edition of the game:

- Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 – The Taxidermist – Experience Madison’s dangerous investigation in full, before it’s available on the PlayStation Store

- The Heavy Rain Official Soundtrack – Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios, and filled with the powerful orchestral themes that form a key part of the experience of playing Heavy Rain

- Dynamic XMB theme – Lend a little Heavy Rain ambience to your XMB

Nothing too noteworthy, but if adventure games are your proverbial bag, Heavy Rain is certainly a game you should take note of.
