Hotline Miami

Date played: January 11th
Platform: Vita/PS3
Session fun rating: 9/10

My brother came over to hang out and Hotline Miami seemed like the kind of game he would enjoy. I had the Vita nearby as we were watching the hockey game so I booted it up, showed him a quick run and handed him the thing. We then played through a few of the early levels together, handing the Vita to each other when things got too hard. This game is very fast, very precise and very punishing. Thankfully, after a few attempts on a level, things start to look a lot clearer and progress is made, slowly.

We then tried it a little bit on PS3, to have the full screen effect and the loud music, but honestly, I prefer playing it on Vita because the small joystick seems to be better suited to a game like this.  The music fucking rocks on all platforms though, that's for sure.
