If you're a fan of the hardcore, run-and-gun, die-and-die-again challenge of games like Contra, you'll absolutely want to take a look at this next title in gaming's must frustrating genre.

"Hard Corps: Uprising is aiming to kick your ass. In fact, there is a long history of games designed with the sole purpose of making you throw your controller violently through your television screen and this painstaking homage to the classic Contra is absolutely of that ilk. You are going to die. Frequently, hopelessly, impossibly often. You are, like some Shakespearean construction worker, going to utter curse words that you’ve only just then, in that single moment as the controller spins toward your LCD TV, invented. And you are very likely going to have lots and lots fun…At least until you’re picking broken bits of cathode ray tube from your knuckles."

Aim up, down, left or right and read through our Hard Corps: Uprising Preview.
