One of the best games EVERRR

As many already know, Contra is one of the best games of all time.  A game that used to entertain me and my older brothers for hours in the late 80's and early 90's holds it entertainment value 20 years later.  If this game reminds you of your childhood as much as it does for me, or if you've never played this game and are looking for a classic, then I suggest buying this game.  Thanks to Xbox Live it is possible to purchase not only a great game, but a piece of gaming history.

Two-player co-op definitely makes the game tougher, but with the infamous "up up down down" Konami code, even the less-skilled players can get an edge and see all of the various and distinct locations. I was one of those kids who played the game so much wit...
