**Hardcore Mode** means permadeath; one life, one try. I enjoy playing games in this mode (be it selecting it if the game supports it or self imposed) because it doesn't really makes games harder, makes them *unforgiving*. It keeps you at the edge of your seat, makes victory sweeter and defeat more meaningful.
