Yeah, Mass Effect 2 uses a modified version of the Unreal 3 engine, but BioWare's modifications would be so specific to their own game that you probably wouldn't license it unless you wanted to make the same style of game e.g. a shooter/adventure hybrid.
As for the Heavy Rain engine, I know David Cage was open to the idea of licensing it out, but ultimately I think it would be up to Sony, and only be available to more Sony-specific developers.
Even if someone licensed the HR engine right now, we wouldn't see the end product for another 2 years, unless they released it episodically.
