Xbox Live Update: Hard Corps: Uprising slams XBLA this week

First out of the gate this week is Konami's Hard Corps: Uprising (1,200 MS points or $15), which debuts on Wednesday. Developed by Arc System Works, the 2D side-scrolling shooter sees players assuming the role of the soldier Bahamut as part of a prequel story to Contra: Hard Corps.

Out now on Xbox Live are three new Games on Demand entries, the first of which is Infinity Ward's blockbuster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ($60). The first-person shooter puts players into the boots of various soldiers, participating in a range of military endeavors across the globe.

Also added to the Games on Demand page today was Rapala Tournament Fishing! ($20). Activision's 2006 fishing title casts players as an angler taking part in a range of fishing tournaments on varied bodies of water.

The last Games on Demand title out now is Aliens vs. Predator ($30). Rebellion's shooter was coolly received when it debuted last February. The sci-fi actioner is a story-driven first-person shooter that offers gamers three separate single-player campaigns, following the two titular predatory species, as well as a human option.
