Sure, Heavy Rain was great, but what was with all the story? Don't you just wish someone would come along, strip out that cinematic nonsense and leave only the visceral thrill of repeatedly calling for your missing son while tearing through a shopping mall?
For you, there's Press X to Jason, a low-rez action/puzzle/platformer/adventure from Heavy.com that nails just one mechanic: Yelling for Jason. [Fair warning: If you don't know how this particular Heavy Rain scene plays out, like, in the real game, you may not want to play Press X to Jason just yet.]
If afterwards you still aren't sure about little Jason's fate, you'll be happy to know that we've located him, and he's on Twitter.
[Thanks, Wez]

I haven't played the game but based on Ludwig's impression of this "Jason" thing in the last podcast, I hope it will become a soundbite. Full of lulz indeed!

When he grabbed the other kid in the mall, we Jason'd, so it just looked like Ethan was shouting at some random kid.

Press x to have the disc become unrecognized.
Press x to have the audio stop working.
