Heavy Rain forecast for weekend

Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain video game PS3

The excellent Heavy Rain is finally released today. Perfect timing too, given the damp forecast for this weekend. What better way to spend a rainy Sunday then with the best example yet of a game/movie crossover? Yes, Heavy Rain is a must-play for PS3 owners. You may not be playing it three months down the line like a Modern Warfare or FIFA, but the experience will be long remembered.

Heavy Rain may be the biggie this week but there are games of interest coming out today. Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing looks the best of the bunch and is out on all the main formats. My copy arrived yesterday but has yet to reach my 360 - expect some impressions of the Mario Kart style racer next week. Way of the Samurai 3 (XBox, PS3) and, er, Sail Simulator 2010 (PC) are also out. More interestingly Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (DS) is finally released. I'm reviewing the puzzle/RPG next week but early impressions are positive.

What are you planning this weekend then? PS3 owner and grabbing Heavy Rain? Planning to check out Sega All-Star Racing? Or still playing Mass Effect 2/Bioshock 2 and the rest?
