| Yea, those two are pretty dang good. I'm contemplating getting the Gold Ship for Beat Hazard before the sale ends. |

| Hacker Evolution: Untold is an indie gem. Similar to Uplink, but with less gimick and more actual coding required.
Of course, Street Hacker is well worth a look-see, if you are interested in older indie games...  |

| I agree with Super Meat Boy! Fantastic game, but damn right punishing as well. |

| Emily, have you played any of the earlier Exosyphen Studio hacking-based games? Blue Sky, Digital Hazard, 2012, et al? Although the mechanics are very similar, the story and interfaces are very different.
Street Hacker is a completely different beast altogether - including prchasing weapons phreak boxes, and building infiltration - very much in the style of the film Hackers.
Speaking of which, I never got a chance to try High School Hacker, but it is supposed to simulate another part of that film - heard good things about it. |
