One of my favorite recent iOS releases – and really one of my favorite games period – was The Hacker [99¢] from Angry Bugs, which we reviewed earlier this month. It let you play the role of an 80s style superstar hacker by way of a strong selection of cleverly designed and challenging mini-games, and it followed a fairly interesting plot along the way. If The Hacker was merely a collection of mini-games it would have been just another run of the mill puzzler. You know, good… but not memorable. Instead, what made it really stand out was its stellar presentation and attention to detail that did a fantastic job at pulling you into the experience. A couple of days ago, Angry Bugs announced in our forums that an update is submitted to Apple that will add Universal support to The Hacker as well as some new content and fixes. In Read More

iPhone App $0.99 Our Review By Jennifer Allen on February 16th, 2012 Rating: :: LOGICAL Plenty of logic mini-games hidden under a 1980s style OS and hacking tale. Developer: Price: $0.99 Version Reviewed: 1.0.1 Device Reviewed On: iPhone 4 Graphics / Sound Rating: Game Controls Rating: Gameplay Rating: Replay Value Rating: Overall Rating: The Hacker is a very neat idea but one that’s going to appeal more to those who remember the 8-bit home computer era. Much like PC Indie game Uplink, The Hacker is all about taking the role of a hacker as they work their way through numerous computer systems across the world in order to uncover a suspicious plot. This sets the game up to offer puzzle after puzzle through a mixture of mini-games. It’s impossible to not be distracted by the appearance of The Hacker. Looking like a 1980s Operating System, green text and all, the game Read More

In The Hacker, you must solve various mini-game-style puzzles to break into servers--all while uncovering a mysterious plot. If you're old enough to remember green-screen monitors, bulletin-board systems, and the 1983 movie classic "War Games," you need to check out The Hacker for iOS. It's a game, yes, but also a kind of love letter to fans of DOS, text adventures, ASCII games, and old-school hacking. The app "installs" the Glider Operating System, in all its green CRT glory, on your device. Once you get past the amusingly realistic DOS-style setup screens, you'll find yourself able to connect to the Glider network, along with its mail system, Web browser, and game emulator. But this isn't just some '80s-throwback OS; there's a plot that unfurls as you poke around, one that involves the Glider Corporation itself and some disgruntled ex-programmers. Your chief goal is to hack your way into eight global servers. Read More

It's not often I can be completely sucked into a world on the tiny screen of my iPhone. Don't get me wrong, it happens, but in the back of my mind I always know that there are dozens of other games waiting for me at the press of the Home button, all ready to feed my ADD-riddled gaming habits at a moment's notice. It's like I can never fully forget all the cool stuff my iPhone is capable of long enough to get lost in a game for any great length of time. That certainly isn’t the case with The Hacker [99¢], though, a story-driven faux hacking game from developer Angry Bugs. When I fire it up, my iPhone is transformed into a Glider OS-equipped computer that becomes my gateway into an international tour de hacking which leads me to uncover a devious plot involving my former employer. It’s far from Read More

On this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk a lot about food. Actually, we spit an unhealthy amount of game about unhealthy food. On the other hand, there's also a hearty amount of iOS discussion. At the top, we cover new games like Eufloria, Off the Leash, The Hacker, and Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon. Later, we sprinkle a little bit of front page into the mixture, and of course, get to a heaping pile of user questions. If you'd like to give us a listen, go ahead and do so via the links just below. If you still haven't dived in, this week is an especially good one -- you'll never learn more about the men behind TouchArcade in another podcast, we think.
