I bet he had to Escape out of LA after that.

What I really like is how the OST cover art features a man that looks like Robert Downey Jr. with a red Kano eye. My money can't fly out of its wallet fast enough.

If you take away the title it looks like every other shooter, ever.

I don't use this image often, but I think it's about time...

Spoiler

I have to say this looks pretty awesome, it's nice to have some good old fashioned and super cheesy 80's fun.
First there's the return of Lisa Foiles and now this, it looks like FUN is coming back to gaming.

I think I'll be buying this when it comes out. I just hope I don't have to download stuff like U-Play.

It was like Overstrike was whisked away in secret and trained at a dojo to one day strike back at the evil GRITTY FUSE PERSON SHOOTING GAMES.

The only thing that could make this DLC more 80's-tastic is if there are cameos by Sly Stallone, Arnie and Bruce Campbell and Kurt Russell. If that happens, I think there'll be many a child of the eighties like myself whose heads would explode from the sheer awesomeness of it all.

Well this link looks inters......... AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYY EYES!!!! IT IS LIKE THE 80S VOMITED DIRECTLY INTO MY BRAIN!

*Side note* If they make a 3ds version of this people the world over will drop like flies leading to a console uprising and wait a second.............

The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who?s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide.

The game is pretty fun. The thing is, Uplay had extremely poor security. There was no hacking involved, all you had to do was create a fake license batch file (just typing in the game ID) using Wordpad and saving it as a .bat file to the uplay folder. Ubisoft should be ashamed of having such poor security. It still hasn't changed, you can download any game off Uplay for free except Blood Dragon.

wait...so this wasn't and April Fool's joke?

but hm...I'll take it lol. I really enjoyed FC3's story and gameplay, but sure I'll take some creative DLC or whatnot xD

Ah, 2007, the year Bioshock was released, good times.

OT however, I'm really looking forward to some cheesy 80's action myself.
