Keep in mind Gameshark? Should you had been round on the time of the OG PlayStation the title will ring a bell. At the moment in videogame historical past, we had been all tapping in Gameshark codes into video games to cheat our approach to the top of Tomb Raider and different such video games of the day. After which, nothing. After which AI Shark, the – “ “decade within the making” relaunch of the hit merchandise from the 90s and early 2000s that had been referred to as GameShark. [AI Shark has] up to date the product and introduced it into the age of synthetic intelligence, machine studying, and supercomputers.” so says the web site.

CEO Todd Hays was one of many guys who launched Gameshark again within the 90s and now heading up AI Shark, he’s seeking to repeat the success story for a complete new era of gamers. However will they be as receptive to an excellent outdated cheat as they as soon as had been?
