'Heavy Rain' to face legal trouble

Heavy Rain studio Quantic Dream has been faced with legal trouble today due to an unforeseen copyright breach. It seems that the game shares it's name with a niche pornographic film that focuses on the toilet-time antics of heavy-set ladies, or BBW's, to use the industry term.


Infamous BBW/Watersports director Sean 'Bojack' Evans - the auteur behind the original Heavy Rain - was flattered when he thought his movie was garnering mainstream attention. "I kept hearing all this stuff about Heavy Rain on twitter and on the TV. Usually my movies don't get mentioned outside of the porn community, so I was instantly curious, but honoured all the same."

On further investigation, Mr. Evans discovered that it was not his movie being discussed, but in fact, a videogame baring the same name. "I thought I'd give it a try, just to see if there were any more similarities and it turns out there's loads!" Mr. Evans claims that the four interwoven narratives and themes of isolation, depression, redemption and liquid were all initially included in his movie. "This French fella is definitely ripping me off....there's even a few fatties in it, he's barely even covered his tracks!"

Mr. Evans is now pursuing legal action to have a cease and desist order placed upon the distribution of Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain whilst a plagiarism case is formed. Stay tuned for further updates on this story.

Exclusive! Sega All-Stars Racing character announcment!

Unless you're some sort of moronic fucktard, with a finger jammed right up your stinky bum-hole, rather than right on the pulse -where it should be- then you'll know that the most anticipated release of the decade is almost upon us. That's right, Sega All-Stars Racing is nearly here and just about every videogame blog worth their salt is talking about what exclusive characters will be appearing in the console-specific versions. The whole Interent erupted when jaded PS3 owners found out that XBOX owners would get the chance to play as Banjo-Kazooie. Sega has promptly responded by announcing the PS3 exclusive character and we here at Split-Screen are proud to be the first to reveal it.

Come the 26th of February, PS3 owners will exclusively be able to race as none other than Hollywood bad-boy, MICKEY ROURKE!


The star was more than happy to be part of the game and went on record as saying "It is truly a god-damn motherfucking shit of an honour. Cunts."

You heard it here first!
