Iron Meat is like a fresh breeze of Contra nostalgia. It has pixel-nostalgia, comes with a great guitar-heavy soundtrack and has some really nice meaty designs. Unfortunately, at one to two hours, it's a very short game, but, especially in co-op, it invites you to play a short round again and again.
