14 hours left and counting, at the time of writing. Today only, British digital distro store Green Man Gaming (their notable gimmick is that you can trade many games out of your account for store credit once you’re done with them) are luring in impressionable young l33td00ds with a free copy of Exosyphen’s rather nifty Hacker Evolution. While still heavily inspired by unrealistic 80s/90s movie hacking, it’s a more involved and realistic affair than Introversion’s Uplink.
The site may be UK-based, but accounts are open globally. GMG also carry a good range of indie stuff, and do run regular giveaways and some fairly steep discounts. Don’t tell anyone (ssssshhhhh – the walls have ears!), but you can usually trade away any unwanted free giveaway items after the event for a handfull of store credit towards your first proper purchase. It’s sneaky and underhanded, and almost certainly part of their business plan.
Sign up, grab your free game and Hack the Gibson. You know you want to.
