The Showdown effect?

after watching a couple videos for showdown effect...

Hotline Miami is definately what you should invest in.

If money is a problem, wait til they're on sale and grab them both!

More seriously though, Hotline Miami is slightly buggy but an incredible single player experience. One of the more powerful games I've played this year.

Showdown Effect seems to be more about multiplayer action. Paradox is also known for Magicka (which was frankly about as buggy) but very fun and a laugh a minute. Showdown effect sounds like multiplayer comedy action.

Hotline Miami will probably last in your mind longer as a story worth remembering but Showdown will probably last longer as a game if you have friends who you will play it with.

Take your pick, I'd say both though since they're doing pretty different things.
