Hotline: Miami - The best soundtrack in gaming?
Hotline Miami, the super-gory 2D top-down gangsters and guns game that caused games reviewers to trip over their own superlatives when it first arrived on PC a few years back, has been specially re-mastered as a launch title for the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV. For those that don't remember this glorious retro shooter, the game blends a top-down perspective with stealth and ultraviolent gameplay. It is a notoriously difficult game to master, which doesn’t make it any less entertaining. Just very challenging. It’s also notable for its splendid neon-spattered 8-bit style visuals and a soundtrack that thumps with deep, bass-y dub and crackles with 1980’s influenced electro. D…
