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.
