Yep, GOTY. And I'm not even kidding.

Hotline Miami's soundtrack felt very Valerie Collective, yeah. More dudes need to check them out.
It's a fantastic throwback and rewards you with as much as you put into it.
Been a while since I did some high score chasing and cutting corners and having that amazing flow of puzzling a level, but nothing has an exact right answer if you are fast enough or get a good weapon roll.
Amazingly good gameplay.

Definitely one of my favourite games this year. Quick and dirty gameplay that's a total blast and it's got such an awesome style to it. Both with the visuals and the soundtrack.

Kill For Love by Chromatics is one of the best albums this year. Real talk.
Everyone on the Italians Do It Better label. Best in the business. Though some of their material is a bit more...pop sounding than Perturbator, it all has that 80's/Italo disco influence.

Mac version is coming, if you buy it through Steam now you'll get it when it's released.
Also, watch Drive (2011) if you haven't already.
It's a lot more calm than Hotline Miami but features some of the above mentioned music and has some other similarities to HM.
Can I recommend Alden Tyrell, definitely Hollands finest together with I-F and Electronome:
Alden Tyrell - Rendezvous at Rimini
Alden Tyrell - Disco Lunar Module

You know what would also be freaking incredible: A mac version of this game, goddamn it.

Its hypnotically disturbing yes... Everything in this game is unsetling, from the guts spilled all over the place to the music.
Although I liked the gameplay, I have to admit I stop playing it, because it kinda made me feel nautious.

Does anyone know the name of the theme that plays whenever you visit your friend at the VHS rental store, pizzeria, etc?
EDIT: I think this is it.

Make a mac version and I'll buy
I'll buy when it comes out, the Meat Boy devs said the same thing and it came 6+months later

Came very close for me, TWD beat it out in the end. Sound, visuals, controls (save for the occasional hitbox glitch) everything was so tightly packed together that I both love it and barely remember it beyond a bunch of bodies at the end of each level. Incredible rush, but perhaps I should feel more conflicted about shooting, stabbing, bashing, slashing and otherwise ending the shit out of hundreds of people in miami in the 80s.
Well, it's fiction, of course, but even so the game seems to contemplate the horrors committed, which is refreshing. At the end of each level, you walk past the bodies of all the people you killed, and obviously not all is right in the protagonist's home life...
For me, the GOTY nod will probably go first to Kid Icarus Uprising, Sleeping Dogs, Resident Evil Revelations and Nintendo Land -- but I think Hotline Miami will slot comfortably into fifth place. Amazing for a game like this to come out of nowhere and be a chart-topper in my book.

This is why I love Hotline Miami
Wow, I don't know why I didn't think of making a Super Meat Boy comparison when I wrote the OP. Hotline really is similar, in terms of repeatedly retrying, and each try lasting a few seconds, getting a bit farther each time. One feature I wish Hotline had, though, was the ability to watch a replay. By the time you master a hit, it's a thing of beauty, soaring through the level, obliterating everyone like a stone-cold killer.

in that case I will buy
my personal game of the year as a subjective judgement, the most important game of the year as an objective judgement.
pure, distilled vision and infinite confidence in its execution. raw, crass and effortlessly cool, with more soul than an entire generation of AAA schlock. video gaming's pulp fiction.

No you do. This game is fantastic and I'm not even sure why you would post such a thing without backing it up.

You know the game is amazing upon reading the beginning of the tutorial.
I doubt it. It was made in Gamemaker, which runs interpreted code, so it needs something with a little bit of heft. It doesn't run at full speed on my Ion nettop PC I use as my media centre which otherwise runs 1080p video fine.

well, that's a shame. game seems right up my alley.
Just got back from that thread...don't read it unless you want to get pissed off lol
Good place to pimp this again:
http://perturbator.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-the-night
Free (PWYW) Album by Perturbator, who contributed 3 tracks to the OST.
Listen to 2., 9. and 10. to see if you'll like it. It's pretty goddamn good.
Oh yeah Hotline Miami rocks. The only game I'd call a "murder simulator".
EDIT After further listening I have to say my favourite track is actually 11.
ffuuucckk, that's good. Now, I'm going to buy 5 albums in the same genre.
So far, I have PowerGlove(if I can find a buy link somewhere), pertubator and I need mooare

The soundtrack reminds me of Drive, that alone will get me to check the game out.

Yowza, that's hot!
Entirely dependant on the person. Lots prefer M&KB, many others (myself included) prefer controller.
Fucking seriously.
