Hacking is back
I remember back in the day of Nintendo 64, I would take my Game Genie and adjust the game codes to see what other things I could unlock. Everything from Link 3 times his size to opening up single player levels of Goldeneye in multiplayer. Sure there was cheating that could have been involved, but for me, it was more like enhancing. Being able to do and play things that you normally shouldn't, made it more than just a cheating device. Now, eon's later, the Game Genie returns for the Playstation 3.
As long as you keep your expectations in check and are OK with only being able to modify the saves of a select number of titles, then grab yourself this magical USB drive and prepare to have some game-beating wishes granted.

Maybe just maybe try to improve your gaming skills to unlock things instead of wasting money on this junk.
I have never been a fan of these kinds of things.
They still make these? Yeah let's spend $30 on something so we can cheat and totally defeat the purpose of gaming. Makes sense.
This week on the CG Podcast the crew talk about the latest in news along with wayne digging deeper into Game Genie and The Secret World. Everyone takes some time to talk about Lollipop Chainsaw in the spoiler filled segment. In the second spoiler filled slot we rip on The Dark Knight Rises.
The folks at Hyperkin are earnestly working on expanding the device’s reach, but there’s no doubt that a purchase of the Game Genie is an investment in potential. If you’re rooting for a return to the days of GameSharks and Action Replays, the Game Genie may be right up your alley. It’s simple, easy, and when it works, it works. But with the cheat library as limited as it is right now, and the bugs in some of the cheats that are listed, you may want to keep this Genie in its lamp until it can grant you more than just three wishes.
Awsome, game genies were fun!
I got a bad feeling about this... (trophy hunter would probably want this more than ever...)
Well if this doesn't lock out trophies then why not lol
Most trophies I think are locked out. Only some will work with the device. Forgot where I read it but mostly no trophies will pop with it.
This device would be the only way I could plat Wipeout or Super Street Fighter 4 (although I'd probably still have to do "C to shining C" normally).
