Remember the Game Genie? Well Hyperkin is releasing Game Genie: Save Editor for PlayStation 3 to help unlock cheats that will assist bad/lazy gamers blow through levels and whole games. The product works by modifying save data with cheat codes that unlock a variety of possibilities. Hyperkin plans to debut the Game Genie: Save Editor for PS3 at E3 next week.
So what games will this Game Genie work for? As a starting point, those attending E3 can check out the Game Genie in action on Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Twisted Metal, Street Fighter X Tekken, and Final Fantasy XIII-2. You’ll get extra lives, experience points, ammo, power-ups, and unlocked levels that make the game easier to beat.
The question is, does this take the fun out of gaming? Would you use this? Better yet, would you admit to using it?
It works through a USB flash drive that contains an installation program. This allows you to transfer save files between the PS3 and PC. A PC program in the USB drive will write cheats onto your save files. Then you’ll transfer the edited save files from PC back to the PS3. It comes with a continuously updated server that adds new codes to the newest games.
