Episode 37: That’s Some Heavy Rain
It’s been the most anticipated game of this generation for the Big Red Potion boys, but does Heavy Rain deliver on our hopes or is it just all ambition without execution? That’s what Sinan discusses with regular guests and friends of the show Xantiriad, Jeffrey Matulef, and Dits Symeou in a great big post-mortem on the game, looking at its highs, its lows, and how the media and blogosphere has reacted to it so far. Joe’s absent for this week, but he’ll be back along with Eddie Inzauto in a mid-week return of the Co-op Mode show, so look out for that.
