Sometime the simplest games are the most enjoyable



So recently a buddy of mine found this game on Steam and decided to buy it for a group of us. Not thinking much about it, I wasn't too excited. The other day, in an hour of boredom, I started it up and since then have dedicated at least 40 hours to it since. I am addicted to it!

It is a simple multi-player game with only 7 buttons need to control it and it is nothing but fun. The games are about 5 minutes long and always randomly selected so that you can't be on or against a super dominating team for too long. It is great!

Chose your own adventure in awesome video game.



Some people where not a fan of Indigo Prophecy, but I am of the opinion that Quantic Dream style of game is great and they just need to keep doing what they are doing. It seems people are at least feeling that way with the release of their newest game "Heavy Rain". Reports from its first week are showing that over 500,000 were sold and it is steady headed to a million copies hopefully by week 2.

"Heavy Rain" game mechanics have evolved since Indigo, now you don't have only one path towards finishing the story, but multiples. The biggest complain I heard from their previous games was the horrible "Game Over" scene that would pop up everytime you chose a decision that the game did thing was correct. Now, there is no wrong decisions in the game and that is awesome.
