Review :Heavy Rain Chronicles: The Taxidermist

Tehflakes — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:34:15 +0000

The first piece of downloadable content for Heavy Rain has arrived for $4.99 USD. This puts back into the game as Madison Paige as she cruises on her motorcycle on her way to continue investigating the Origami Killer story. You arrive at the Taxidermist and low and behold he is not home and Madison needs to find a way in to the house so she can begin to investigate the situation and create an article for her paper. Madison ravages through the house and stumbles upon a room covered in blood, guts in a sink and a dead body in a bathtub. She stumbles out of the room. I won’t reveal what happens next as its pacing, background noises and following game play are some of the best in Heavy Rain. It’s unfortunate that this chapter was potentially cut from the game.

The issue I have is it’s only 15 minutes in length, very short piece of game play for $4.99 however if your like me and loved Heavy Rain this is something you should play.

Little Big Planet – Metal Gear Solid Content Pack

Little Big Planet is one of my favourite PlayStation 3 games and until recently didn’t get much play time in my house. However all that has changed in the last several weeks and with that I decided to finally finish Little Big Planet. Well I’ve done that and then I set up foot to discover what level add on’s developer Media Molecule had on the Playstation store. I came across the Metal Gear Solid Content pack that features a costume (Gurlokovich Solider), 72 new stickers, 12 materials, 10 decorations, 18 objects, background music tracks and much more. In addition to this you get 5 new story levels and extra challenge level. The 5 levels are based on the 5 acts from Metal Gear Solid 4 Son of the Patriots. The most notable addition to the content pack is the Paininator which is essentially a paintball gun which I would rate as PG. Another nifty thing I found out while playing this content was that friends could join and play the DLC levels even though they haven’t paid for the content. If you own Little Big Planet you owe it to yourself to try this fantastic content add-on.

Harmonix Loves Us!

Here we have a developer doing something right. In the days of Spore and their controversial DRM, Harmonix has enabled users to transfer songs from Rock Band to Rock Band 2 for the miniscule price of 400 Microsoft Points (~$5). This is simply a license fee and it’s a one time deal.

If that wasn’t enough, as a thank you for purchasing Rock Band 2, Harmonix will be releasing 20 FREE DLC songs this fall. Tracks and timing have yet to be confirmed, but this is still one sweet bonus.

Thank you Harmonix for loving the gamers that love you back.
