g4tv: Catch a well overdue helping of gaming-meta comedy with Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. D3 stopped by to grace us with a direct-feed walkthrough of its upcoming third-person gaming parody . In the lengthy video, producer Brian Etheridge guides us through the fictional gaming world of Matt Hazard (voiced by Will Arnett) as he attempts to unravel the satire heavy plot while attempting to exploit every oppurtunity for a gaming pun. Details included:
•Weapons, power-ups, gameplay mechanics
•Story elements and characters (the Mario parody is win!)
•Plenty of satirical enemy types
•Plus, a FULL boss fight with a Sephiroth parody character you don't want to miss.
Look for Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard to launch in March on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In the meantime, how many gaming puns were you able to catch?
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.
One of our newest writers Ewan takes a look at the gaming past and with that we present to you, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard – Forgotten But Not Gone!
