I have Uplink, and I played the demo for Hacker Evolution, and based on that, I'd say Uplink is worth it, while Hacker Evolution isn't. Uplink felt like a sandbox simulation of Hollywood hacking; Hacker Evolution felt to me like a single-solution puzzle game with a "hacking-like" interface (which might be fine for many people, just not for me).
Then again, I remind you that I've only played the demo for Hacker Evolution. It's possible that the full version has more options, or more flexibility in the solutions for each of its missions.
Now if I could play a Hollywood hacking game that has the sandbox-like quality of Uplink, with a (optional) command-line interface like Hacker evolution, I'd be a very happy geek. ;)

This entire week, with the exception of Monday, has got to be the worst sale Steam has ever had. I mean, they didn't even try to top the Batman sale that GFWL did, and even better was buying Just Cause and Batman together is actually cheaper than buying Batman alone, which was probably done to hype up JC2 later this month.

Yea aside from DX & Batman collection Eidos didn't have much to offer. I wouldn't have minded a Thief sale but oh well.

Well there's only that one Thief game anyway.

i hate passing this week's Impulse sales

Is it any good?

I just did. It better be good!
Otherwise you just pissed of the guy who recently bought a sniper simulator. Just saying.

Pretty good.
Slowmo bullet cam if you score a headshot, realistic physics and weather, and fun levels.
Yeah.

For $2 it is ok, but not much more. The problem with the game (for me) is the very puzzly (not a word I know) way of going through levels. Enemies appearing on the same position, accuracy of some of them a bit too good if you know what I mean, etc.
You can still have a lot of fun with it.

Yeah, I am thinking about picking up Sniper Elite as well. Probably will bite for $2, but I might wait to see what the mid-week and weekend deals are to buy together.

Boo. $2 =! �2 (=! 2 Euro)
[Edit] Traditional Impulse on sale link.

All ATARI games on Gamersgate at 40-50% off for this week.

And beautiful scenery. Really, I found like I was in Berlin in WW2, added with a nice soundtrack.
But forget about the story, it's the same "HURRRR AMERIKKA MUST SAVE TEH WORLD FROM EVIL RUSSCI!!!111"
