Okay, so that new Bioshock 2 DLC is EXACTLY what DLC should be!

So often DLC seems like stuff that should be included with the game in the first place. Like the previous BS2 DLC, the stupid Protector Trials. Or the Mercenaries mode on Resident Evil 5. So much DLC is just simple crap to add reply value, which is something traditional tacked onto the game at release.

Bioshock 2's Minerva's Den DLC feels like a good old fashioned expansion pack, and totally worth paying for. Adds several hours of game play, and honestly, the storyline was awesome. I really enjoyed it. The actual game's story line kind of bored me, but the story in this DLC really held my attention. 

 

R-Type was really hard. I must have been level 5, no more.

But worst:

Xain'd Sleena

Haha! Best post ever! I feel like I have just had a hand shoved in my face, but it was so unbelievable well done, I can't help but be extremely amused by it.

Just waiting for my boy Xhonzi, once he come back this thread will be ours again!... but until then...

Pac-Man and Galaga were always more of my thing. Used to really like Space Invaders, but now that it comes down to it, I am not sure why. There were far more creative games contemporary to it. Robotron was another winner.

PomPom games has made some really fantastic remakes of Defender and Robotron, called Space Tripper and Mutant Storm, respectively.

Hmm, looking at the site, it looks like Space Tripper has now been updated and renamed Astro Tripper. I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that if you say Space Tripper out loud it sounds dangerously like Space Stripper; I have gotten funny looks when recommending the game on more than one occasion on account of that auditory oddity.
