Because deep down we all want to kill people while wearing a chicken mask.

User Rating: 8.5 | Hotline Miami PC
This game is a prime example of how a game doesn't need gigs of graphical element files or all-star voice acting to be great. Much of the genius of this game is in the simplicity, short fast paced levels with the simple objective of killing everyone and everything.

The story is far from flawless, the graphics are top-down, and it's crashed on several occasions, but I am hooked, easy controls, challenging levels, wholesale slaughter, and catchy if not hypnotic music. It's vaguely reminiscent of the original Grand Theft Auto in way of control and look, but is definitely more murder-centric, it offers gamers the sort of gratuitous excess on which we thrive. Despite a few run time errors that might crash the game at inopportune moments, this is perhaps one of the more captivating games this year. Give this game a try if you want to kill some time(and video game people,) without a doubt a worth while play.
