Xbox Live Arcade's House Party is in full effect now that the parents are off vacationing in Hawaii. (What can possibly go wrong?) The first title for this batch of releases is rather fitting due to its in-your-face batsh*t insanity: Arc System Works' Hard Corps: Uprising.
The full download is priced at $15, but even if you aren't in the market for a gorgeous-looking Contra game, I recommend playing the demo; there's enough content to justify the download time. If nothing else, do it for the absurdly badass animated intro movie.
Any takers? I'm afraid I'll buy this, get my ass kicked, and never play it again.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

2 hype.
I loved Contra HC for the Genesis...
That looked an awful lot like a pot calling the kettle black.
$15 has been the norm for most arcade releases for like the last 3 years. I'm not saying it's right, just sayin...
Do you know where these hands have been?!?!
Oh, what am I saying? Of course you do!
