Although we heard plenty of skepticism surrounding Quantic Dream's newest project, it seems the majority of our readers were already sold on Heavy Rain even before the overwhelmingly positive review scores arrived.
We were hardly the only ones to heap glowing praise atop the revolutionary title in question, and while a lot of you said that feedback helped, most say they were all ready to snag Heavy Rain on day one. This probably shouldn't be too surprising, as we covered the game very well over the past year and there has been plenty of information flooding the Internet for months. For those who were really interested, you likely learned everything you needed to know quite some time ago, although we heard a lot of, "damn, now I'm definitely getting this game!" after we issued our review. Despite our 9.5 score, I told you towards the end of the analysis that Heavy Rain isn't for everyone; that if you lack the requisite sensibility and sensitivity, and you simply aren't interested in artistic, storytelling and atmospheric achievements, you'll likely be bored. But we've got a lot of readers who represent the exact right audience for this game.
It comes out on Tuesday, if you need the reminder. Moving forward, we want one simple answer from you: God of War III or Final Fantasy XIII ? The two mammoth titles come out within one week of each other next month, and we'd like to know – if you absolutely had to choose – which of these immensely promising titles you would purchase. We know plenty of you are planning to get both but we're asking you to make the tough choice… Which is it?
God of War 3, and tomorrow Heavy Rain!!!
I couldn't care less about FF, so definitely God of War III.
Heavy Rain is going to be the Sh**!!

Just pre-ordered Heavy Rain(Took me long enough..). I was already planning on buying the game before the reviews came out. Although the review here was a great read. Always enjoy your reviews here.
As for the next poll. I am getting Final Fantasy XIII over God of War III. Only because I love Final Fantasy, actually looking forward to XIII(Despite all the hate, I've still been a fan), and I've never really gotten into GoW. Not sure why, but I've been trying to finish the first GoW and it just doesn't click with me. Most likely because I am playing it now, instead of when it released(Silly me). I own all the GoW games to date, but haven't had the desire to finish the first one. I can't really say if I'll like GoW3 without finishing the others I guess. It all comes down to personal preferences. (Yes, I know I will get thumbs down galore for not being a die-hard fan of GoW. But I mean no harm and I am only sharing my opinion.)
I hope both games sell incredibly well though. 🙂
Neither! Heavy Rain in my opinion is better than GOW3 and FF13, give me a thumbs down if you want but im sold on Heavy Rain. It is so lovely on my 65 in Mitsubishi 3D ready TV!
(in order)
Definitely: Heavy rain
First price drop: GOW3
"USED", & under $20: FFXIII
