I liked Bionic Commando, even the 2009 version (Mike Patton doing the voice helped). The 2 Rearmed entries were good couch coop fun.

Gah! I missed the chance to post a new open thread last week ๐ญ ! The first real week back to work scrambled my brains a little bit.
I didn't have much time to play any games over the past couple of weeks, but I've picked up a few things on sale, including some Bionic Commando games on Steam. I messed around with the NES game in emulation, but I don't know much about the franchise. We'll see!
