Heavy Rain can be a drag sometimes. It's so bleak! And serious! What we need to lighten the mood is an unofficial spin-off title. Something with a little more Niko Bellic. And ass-grabbing.

These clips take Grand Theft Auto IV and make them all Heavy Rain, complete with agonisingly slow camera pans, pianos and quick-time event mechanics.

Some of the jokes may be lost on those who haven't played Quanitc Dreams' PS3 adventure, but pelvic thrusts and slow-motion beatdowns speak a universal language.
