Im pretty sure you use some type of partical thing to generate this effect but does anyone have any examples of how its done? Or even anything at all that will help me figure it out :P

Or maybe some type of on screen billboarding effect?

I've never done this myself but a friend once told me this is done by placing a cylinder around the camera, and putting a 'raining' animated texture on on the cylinder. The texture would be transparent with animated raindrops. You'd have to experiment a lot with the size of the cylinder and the texture I imagine. You could also deform the vertices of the cylinder so the rain did not appear under ledges, etc.

Particles would be the way, try the particle tutorial or even better, KnighOfLights snowman demo.
