If you grew up in the heyday of MTV, then you'll appreciate that a great song was just as much defined by its music video. Many hours of my teens were lost just surfing music channels, and I think it's no coincidence the ones I still remember fondly were from the '80s that pushed all kinds of artistic and technical wizardry, like A-Ha's pencil-sketch 'Take On Me', Peter Gabriel's stop-motion 'Sledgehammer' or Dire Straits's computer-animated 'Money For Nothing. That same inventive spirit can be felt in Mixtape, a game celebrating the last night three teenage friends spend together, which is almost like a playable compilation of music videos.
