Anybody know how much Heavy Rain cost to make? I looks and feels uber expensive!

Those reviewers aren't cheap.

I agree

It's a very good list but there's a lot of games missing (due to lack of public info):

CoD MW2 ~ $50 million (my estimate, based on some stuff I read on internet about it)
Assassin's Creed 1 ~$60 mill at least (Ubisoft's Montreal dev team is huge)
Assassin's Creed 2 about the same as the original, maybe a little more
Final Fantasy 13 - I don't know but should be well over $60 mill
Red Dead Redemption - $50 million, $60 mill? I have no idea.
World of Wacraft +$50 mill
Starcraft II +$50 mill
Diablo 3 +$50 mill
Warhammer Online +$50 mill

Also games like Resident Evil 5, Far Cry 2, Splinter Cell Conviction and God of War 3 probably have budgets in the $40-50 million ballpark.

some of these games gained a lot of money to their companies so it was alright for them.too human is the most disapointing for me because i had huge hopes for the game because it came from a great company and the end result was disapointing.

Where's big rigs: over the road racing??

It's a shame we spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to satisfy our need for eye candy.

Your talking about games right?
