inXile Entertainment has released their HD re-imagining of Choplifter for the PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade today for $14.99/1200 MS Points. Choplifter HD is just the latest in a long line of games to get the much deserved retro revival treatment.
Our review went up today detailing all that you can expect. What wasn't mentioned is that there's going to be FREE downloadable content coming soon. The DLC packs will include additional helicopters, each featuring unique abilities. Some examples of this include the medical helicopter that disables the wounded rescue timer upon pickup. Then there's the helicopter that lets you carry more passengers.
Additional DLC will be released later on that will include new missions, mini-games and more. In the mean time, check out the gallery below that contains an exclusive look at the helicopters you can pilot now, and the ones you can expect to pilot soon.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

The world is over. They are giving away stuff that should be free anyways.
As long as I am a deadbeat that doesn't have a job $5 to $15 is too much.
Hows it going lil guy?
