8 Best Hackers In Gaming History

5. Isaac Clarke

For the uninitiated, Isaac Clarke is basically space MacGuyver. Part of what makes him so cool is that he's just a super-nerd turned alien zombie-slaying badass. An engineer for the CEC mining corporation, Isaac is the go-to tech guy, which is a spot normally reserved for a side character. During his exploits on The Sprawl and Tau Volantis, Isaac will need to rewire some machinery in a manner that might be considered illegal, if not for an infestation of undead horrors. This involves a quick rotation puzzle in which the player must find the "sweet spot" a few times without running out of time or getting their face eaten off by a Necromorph. To make the process go a little faster, console players can also equip the Hacker RIG which, aside from looking really cool, gives the added bonus of being able to complete the game in one less stage - a nice little perk for players who actually bought Dead Space: Ignition, which featured an arguably more diverse series of mini-games (and not much else) in a far worse game.

Ken was born in 1994, and before the turn of the century, he was already a gamer for life, starting with Pokémon Blue Version. He has a passion for storytelling, especially in the gaming medium. Growing up on a healthy diet of JRPGs and point and click adventure games, young Kenny grew up playing Nintendo and Sony consoles, before becoming a snobby member of the PC Master Race. Nowadays, he resides in a time warp, refusing to believe the nineties ended as he fills up his Steam library with old point and clicks and cRPGs.
