Heavy Rain was an innovative adventure game released for the PS3 back in 2010, featuring an interesting plot about a serial killer with a fondness for origami figures, and four different protagonists which players could control. And like earlier games by developer Quantic Dreams, this game did have its share of violence and sexual content.

Actually, Heavy Rain features one steamy amorous scene between two of the protagonists (Madison Page and Ethan Mars), which also happens to be interactive, letting players control the action… There’s also quite a bit of graphic violence (which is fitting for a game about a serial killer), but the game’s explicit content got it banned in the United Arab Emirates, meaning Heavy Rain got removed from retailers’ shelves in the Middle Eastern country.
