Special feature:The Art of Game Saving

I have been discovering more and more ways to save games. Some are simple, but some of them are quite fustrating. Here, take a look at these 'game saving systems' found in many of the games that are latterly put on the store shelves.

Save Method 1: Save it whenever you like
This is probably the best method for saving games. Just save it whenever you feel like it! This ensures that you can start from your preferred part of the game just in case you die after you save the game. This method is also the safest! No fustration ever again from dying midway through the journey to the next checkpoint.

Save Method 2: The Save Room
I have only seen this method once. There will be many save rooms in a mission and all you need to do to save the game is to go inside the save room, find the big 'S' on the wall and hit it. Do not get too apprehensive about the save rooms; they will be marked by a huge and prominent alphabet 'S'.

Save Method 3:Checkpoint
Deployed in many games, this is the most popular save method. The game automatically saves itself when you have arrived at a 'checkpoint', which is an imaginary line of progress in a game. The next time you play the game, you will continue from your last checkpoint. The distances between these checkpoints are relatively short and therefore, there is no need for worry because even if you die midway, you won't be too far away from the point where you die.

Save Method 4:The Deleted Checkpoint
I am not sure if this method is a friend or foe. If you like challenges and demand more difficult games, you will prefer this method, but if you are just the causual gamer, this method is your ultimate foe, not the enemies in the gameplay. This method works very much like the previous method, but if you end your mission or exit the game before the current mission is completed, all your checkpoint progress will be lost. You will have to restart the entire same mission the next time you play the game, which is extremely fustrating! Make sure you wear a cap while playing this kind of game, or else it will result in loss of hair whenever you tear them out! This method is seen in Black and more recently, Hitman:Blood Money. You have been warned!
