A few weeks ago, we talked about Ubisoft’s new DRM and how insanely ridiculous it was. I also mentioned something about… *Rubs chin* What was it? Oh yeah.

Heavy Rain is a popular recently released Playstation 3 game that plays out as sort of an interactive movie. You make choices that affect what goes on in the game and, ultimately, how it ends.

But how would this work in a 2-2.5 hour-long scenario, on the silver... Read→
