This deserves its own thread. It made a bit of an impact at last year's E3 but the viral campaign is pretty impressive.

The game is set in the year 2084, in a futuristic version of Paris called Neo-Paris. In the story, Mega-corporation MEMORIZE has invented a new brain implant called the Sensation Engine (Sensen), which enables roughly 99% of the population to upload and share their actual memories on the net.[/URL] This gives MEMORIZE an immense degree of control over the population and enables them to establish a surveillance state. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_Me_%28video_game%29#cite_note-MemoryTrailer-4) This, in turn, leads to a small group of rebels forming under the name "Errorists": their mission is to bring down MEMORIZE. The invention of the Sensen has also resulted in the creation of Leapers: formally memory-addicted humans, they have absorbed so many memories through the net that their Sensen has degraded and they have mutated into a subhuman form, now living in the sewers of Neo-Paris.
When the game starts, Nilin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_Me_%28video_game%29#cite_note-MemoryTrailer-4), a memory hunter employed by MEMORIZE who specialized in stealing or altering memories, has her own memory wiped by her employers. Now on the run, Nilin allies with the Errorists and, with help from the rebel leader Edge, sets out to recover her lost memories and bring down MEMORIZE.
