What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Slave Zero is an old game so the graphics and gameplay mechanics are definitely dated. But I don't know any other game that lets you stomp around a cyberpunk city as a giant robot. The game does a great job of giving you a sense of scale with all the little flying cars moving around your feet as you jump from building to building. I still enjoy it.

If you've never played Slave Zero, here's a trailer. It's available on Steam for $7 but if that's too high a price, it regularly goes on sale for $4.50.

Also, I refuse to accept that the new game Slave Zero X is actually a prequel to Slave Zero. I don't care if this company bought the rights to Slave Zero and claims it's in the same universe. A 2.5D ninja beat 'em up is nothing like jumping around a cyberpunk city as a giant robot.
