I'll have to try it eventually, but until Gran Turismo 5 stops spinning in my PS3 for more than a few minutes it'll have to wait. Meanwhile, there's a very good reason why Heavy Rain was the first game I included in this list- which is because it's definitely at the forefront of my choices. I tend to lean toward games that take chances and do things differently when I think about my favorites, and while Indigo Prophecy was an interesting experiment for these guys (Quantic Dream), Heavy Rain is a huge step forward. Hopefully it doesn't get lost among the other nominees from the top gaming websites, because I'll certainly never forget playing it.

I would imagine it would increase the immersion with the story (which was already substantial). While it left a few bits of the story arc unexplained or unsupported, this game haunted me until its completion. Especially as a father of a son who is right around the age of the infamous "JASON!" this game took hold of me like few others have. I finished Heavy Rain not only satisfied but emotionally moved, and there were several standout moments that I will never forget. There are contenders out there, but this one gets my vote for #1 of 2010. Any experience playing this with the Move?
