The Contenders:
Heavy Rain
Quantic Dream’s psychological thriller was a totally unique concept for PlayStation 3 owners and featured game controls that brought player interactivity to a whole new level. Filled with drama, mystery, and suspense, the dark, rain-soaked atmosphere and mature storyline was as engaging as the search for clues and the perfectly-paced QTE fight sequences. Incredible graphics and sound have scarcely been used better to heighten an already tense atmosphere. Put simply, Heavy Rain made you feel like you were the star of your own movie, and became an instant classic on PS3 thanks to its unique blend of storytelling and interaction.
Mass Effect 2
Bioware’s action role-playing sequel was praised for its branching narrative, polished sci-fi environments, and cast of compelling characters. Character development was addictive and quests were diverse and entertaining. Thankfully, it’s tight third-person combat held up as well. Dramatic and intense, Mass Effect 2 is well-paced and captivating, expertly managing to make players feel emotionally involved with their character and the weight of their decisions at every path. Expertly polished and constantly impressive, almost every inch of Mass Effect 2 is a joy to behold.
