Weekly Digital Roundup: “Do you like hurting other people?”

"Rebuying games for other platforms: it’s something many of us our guilty of. And with Hotline Miami being available on PS3 and Vita as of Tuesday, I just couldn’t resist going through it again.

If you haven’t bothered with the Steam version of the game, then you owe it yourself to get engrossed in the disturbing nature of this top-down “****-em-up” on PSN. The game is cross-save and cross-buy, so not only do PS3 users get the Vita version free and vice versa, but they can transfer their save files between the two through the magic of the Cloud™.

On the Nintendo side of things, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has been given a 3D uplift on the 3DS’ eShop, and a shoot-em-up by the name of Kokuga should be relevant to anyone who’s a fan of Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun: it features the same director. And while the Wii U’s Virtual Console in Japan may have gotten a fantastic dual Square Enix release of Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI, us North Americans will just have to settle for SNES casino game Vegas Stakes.

To top things off, Steam finally has a Mac-compatible version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and Xbox Live is featuring some choice games like Sine Mora, Spelunky, Limbo and Perfect Dark for half-off. If you’re a Gold member, that is.

For the entire roundup, hit up our massive list after the break."

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930180d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

10 years on, Hotline Miami's OST remains the perfect accompaniment for introspective ultraviolence

Do you like hurting other people? Ten years later, it's probably the music that drove you to it, let's be honest.
