20 Best Video Game Moments Of The Decade (So Far)

16. "JAY-son!" - Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain does just as many things right as it does wrong, and although things like Ethan Mars' 'finger-sever' or Madison Paige's love scene are debatable as to their impact, this opening palette-setter was supposed to let you see what the lives of both Ethan and son Jason were like before tragedy strikes. However in mapping Ethan's call to his son to a button prompt that pops up every few seconds and coupling that with Mars' voice actor saying the name as plaintively and off-key as possible, you get a recipe for meme-based viral-video heaven. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cgOti7gLus
