Kikizo writes: "Final Fantasy's long-winded text dialogue, Mario's exclamation blocks and the battle with the Hydra from God of War are just three of the scenes and devices gently sent up in Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, a new third-person shooter from Vicious Cycle Software of Dead Head Fred repute. With so many companies feverishly disassociating themselves from the bespectacled gaming stereotypes of yesteryear, it's nice to see a developer rifling through that pongy adolescent period in the name of fun."
Can you judge a video game by its bad, sometimes bonkers box art? More often than not.
The Phalanx cover I do remember well, to be fair it did show a star ship on the cover too.
The worst box art in recent memory was the Doom 2016 one. That cover was depressingly generic.
We groan at the cheese. Also, The Master of Disguise.
