Darwinia
The world of Darwinia is a virtual themepark, running entirely inside a computer network and populated by a sentient evolving life form called the Darwinians. Unfortunately Darwinia has been overrun by a computer virus which has multiplied out of control. Your task is to destroy the Viral Infection and save the Darwinians from extinction.

More About Darwinia
Darwinia is set in a digital world, created by a certain Dr. Sepulveda. But not all is well in Darwinia, a virus has entered the system, and it is up to the player to save Darwinia, and the Darwinians.
You do this by summoning different programs, like squads to destroy any virus in your path, and engineers which can take control over and repair buildings, and harvest souls to create new Darwinians.
Darwinia often gets described as mixing genres, mainly strategy and action games. Each level usually has you attempting to eliminate all viral units and take control over important buildings and similar, while herding your Darwinians to the right places (you cannot control them directly only though special units), and trying to keep them alive.
Darwinia is the second game released by Introversion, the creators of Uplink and Defcon, and is like Introversion's other titles visually very influenced by the hacking movies of the 80s. Of course, the visuals have taken quite a step forward since Uplink.
Darwinia was very well received by the reviewers scoring mostly between 8/10 and 10/10. Darwinia also won the Technical Excellence, and Innovation in Visual Art, and Seumas McNally Grand Prize awards at the 2006 Independent Games Festival.
