Hotline Miami

I played this on PS Vita, but it's also on PS3 and PC.  It looks a lot more modern during play than it does in screenshots because it's a lot smoother than older games and the animations are much more detailed.  It's a top-down game where you use guns and melee weapons to clear rooms of baddies. Or are they? (Yes, probably.)  You keep getting cryptic phone calls implying that you need to take out some people or else you'll be killed. 

The game itself is actually pretty tough.  Guys will shoot at you immediately if they see you and they don't miss.  You need to come up with a plan before you enter each room or else you don't stand a chance. 

As you can tell from the screenshots, the game is pretty gruesome.  Your character starts hallucinating as a result of all of the violence he has committed, and this doesn't help things.  Though the game isn't for the faint of heart, it's well made and a blast to play.
