Expendables Facebook Game Ripped Right Out Of Contra's Playbook
More than likely, you already have a Facebook account by now. After you're done updating your status to something stupid, why not do something useful with it? Something like, say, playing an old-school side-scroller that plays surprisingly well. Lionsgate has created a game to tie in with the upcoming action flick The Expendables. Even if you're not interested in seeing the movie, it's a game that (gasp!) is actually worth checking out on the platform. The downside is that you'll have to "like" it before you're able to play. Weak.
There are three playable characters, each corresponding to a different difficulty setting, as well as unlockables and the chance to win prizes.
Hey, at least you're not tending yet another farm.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
