A Fable to Remember

27/10/2014

While I’m enjoying a kick about, and been scared the shit out of, 2 more xbox 360 games have been passed onto me today, that I’ve been meaning to pick up for a while:

Remember Me
Remember Me

The place is Neo-Paris. The year is 2084. Personal memories are now digitised, bought, sold and traded. The last vestiges of privacy and intimacy have been swept away in what appears to be a logical progression of the explosive growth of social networks at the start of the 21st century. The citizens themselves have acquiesced to this surveillance society in exchange for the comfort only smart technology can provide. This memory economy transfers immense power over society to just a handful of people. Remember Me is a third-person action adventure in which players assume the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to penetrate people’s minds and steal or even alter their memories. The authorities, fearful of her knowledge and powers arrested Nilin and wiped her memory clean. After her escape from prison, Nilin embarks on a mission to recover her identity, helped by her last and only friend. This search for her past leads to her being hunted by the very people that created this surveillance society

As a long time Cyberpunk, and Fable fan, I have been keen to pick up both of these games from launch, but have always had something else to play… maybe one more game of football first 😉
