Heavy Rain duels out with Resident Evil 5 AE ! Hot pic games of the weekIntroducing the hot pic games released this week!



The first game is the PS3 adventure game "HEAVY RAIN".

"HEAVY RAIN" is a suspense adventure game that centers the kidnapping incident that occurred in a small town in the United States through the eyes of 4 main characters.

Drowning the kidnap victim to death 4 days later and leaving an "Origami" beside its body, an ex-architect Ethan, an P.I. Shelby, news photographer Madison and a FBI profiler Jayden tries to find the truth.

The system of the game includes "shaving" by moving the analogue controller slowly up and down in the bathroom, features a unique controlling system of following directions from the screen. The system is made to share a stronger bonding with the characters.

It seemed to be selling well at Akihabara, as expected. The foreign drama-like story and action system based on instinct -a twist from other adventure games- were the attractions many shop staffs pointed out. "It's selling better than the favorite title, Resident Evil" a staff commented.
