As if seeing Sly, Bruce, Arnie, Rourke, Lundgren, Couture, Li, Austin, Crews and Roberts wasn’t enough to sate our need for all things action, it appears a cool little 8-bit videogame has been created over at the official Facebook page for the flick. It’s vintage arcade style…so all y’all with a hankering for 80s nostalgia…get the f*ck down with this shite pronto!
For some reason, I wasn’t able to play the damn thing, so I can’t really give you the skinny on all the game play deets. You’ll just have to go in blind and do your best…then report back here with your results. I mean it!
THE EXPENDABLES follows Barney Ross (Stallone), a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as removing those hard to get at stains. The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas, former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang, a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar, who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road, a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen, a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.
THE EXPENDABLES explodes into theaters August 13th!
