Sometimes the little guy wins, Uplink was created by the guys at Introversion a little UK based games developer, who had a great idea; and actually made it happen. Upink is a hacker simulator, as feels really authentic. This is truely a game for the ages, fantastic gameplay. Which is what this game is all about, basicly a spreadsheet witha mouse click interface, some typing involved but nothing too difficult. You can play in almost a 'sandbox' kind of way, completely ignoring the storyline that is unfolding, or you can play though the storyline, and enjoy a complex and well written piece. The music in the game is top notch and is a joy to listen too, the sound effects are wonderful and the interface it self is really very visualy pleasing. Only downside is the potential difficulty of the storyline, (i have the brittish version so it might be different) however it does seem to be a little on the hard side; but, i suppose, a challenge is welcome. In the end Introversion has delivered a great game made by the little guy for the big bad world, may we hack in peace. Hey if you don't belive me, download the demo, it's free you know.
