This is an excellent game. The best way to describe it would be to say it is like a cross between Killing Floor and Left 4 Dead.

Terraria is like Minecraft, but with less emphasis on building, and more on exploring and combat.

I really dislike the controls, but the exploring is fun enough, and the penalty for dying is so low, that I don't really mind that much.

Back in 2002, I had to disconnect my computer from the internet the first few times I played this game, fearing that I might actually be hacking a real bank in South America.

Ok, so I was a kid at the time. But because of the game's simple abstract design, Uplink still looks good, and to this day it is still one of the most immersive games I have ever played.

In the game, you play as an Uplink agent, hacking servers for your customers. The game is very open ended, allowing you to do almost anything you want. If you don't want to do certain jobs, for example, you can simply ignore them. This also means you can ignore (or even fail to notice) the story developing in the world around you. Honestly, it's a shame, since the story itself is excellent.

One thing that could be a deal breaker: if the police get your computer, you lose, and need to start a new game. But it really adds to the game's mood and makes the fear and paranoia palpable!
