...but the Mercenaries game doesn't have a campaign mode, so the only thing that's being 'saved' ever is the high score...

It's kind of like how the Phoenix Wright games don't allow you to 'start a new game'. There's no difference between starting a new game and just replaying the old chapters except that you can't see how many total chapters there are in a new cart...

Phoenix Wright games unless they totally fucked shit up since the first one let you do a hard reset on the cart.

If you enjoyed Nier as much as I did, you may have heard of Grimoire Nier, which I think I have once linked the translation to here. Anyway I guess it comes with one of those Drama CDs, which someone has translated and made an outline of. Some interesting stuff that stretches from prior to the prologue, to 280 years after the end.

Naturally it has some spoilers and shit. But it does include a lot of things they were apparently wanting to put in a sequel that would never get made, and a lot of it is pretty intriguing.

I have linked to this before, but with Deus Ex on sale today I hope some people are going to play it sometime soon.

This is a tool that will help the game run correctly on modern systems and OS. It also has a renderer for DX10 so you can make the game look a little shinier. It won't make the game look amazing or anything, but it will take some of the sharp edges off it.

Just think, in 60 years time kids could be playing Djinn's awesome hacks of games and then grow up to learn that he had been employed by his country to have sex with hot older women in the interests of national security.

Dude you have figured out your life goal, now make it happen.

The trailer for the new FONV DLC, featuring the voices of Doctor Thaddeus S. Venture and Hubert Farnsworth.

Naturally the comments include people talking about how Fallout 3 had a much better story because it had heroes and in FONV you didn't know who the heroes were so who am I supposed to support? Fucking Bethesda.

Guess what? Final Fantasy Vs13 is releasing THREE NEW SCREENSHOTS because they're getting ready to start actually making the game, five years after announcing it and starting the project.

The guy singing lead actually isn't bad at the given the audio quality there. Not a bad piece of A Capella.
