Streets of Rogue

• The best starting character is probably Soldier or Hacker, depending on whether you want to fight or use skills.

• The Shop Drops perk causes any merchant to drop one item from their inventory upon being killed by you, and if you upgrade it at an augmentation booth for $350 they drop two items. It applies to Shopkeepers, Bartenders, Drug Dealers, Clerks (only the ones in movie theaters), Thieves, and the Upper Crusters that have a store in the mall. It's an incredible way to rack up money fast. Note that the death has to be caused directly by you.

• Long Lunge and Floats Like Butterfly are two other insanely good perks when combined, since they let you practically rocket through the level by swinging your melee weapon like crazy in the direction you're walking. (Be careful not to whack pedestrians).
