Matt Hazard makes a "comeback" with game for PSN, XBL |
Ó
Following the public's renewed interest in him, Matt Hazard, video game action hero since 1983, will get to have one of his classic games released on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network this summer. Long live the Hazard!
I am well aware that Matt Hazard never existed until last year, but it's just easier to talk about him with respect to his own fictional world. In case you haven't heard of him, Matt Hazard is the hero of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. He has a made-up history of 25 years of video games (though he's been out of work for six years).
The game that will be released on XBL and PSN is supposedly one of his "classic" games (that never really existed, mind you). Judging from the artwork, it's most likely "Goonzilla Versus Mega-Matt" which Matt Hazard's "unofficially OFFICIAL" guide describes as:
A sorry attempt to bring Matt Hazard into the Asian market. Available only on import in the US, this game pitts a radioactively-enhanced Matt against a rampaging mobster-- turned-reptile that is threatening to destroy the city of Osaka, Japan. Not a great game, but serious collectorÂ’s item if you can get your hands on it.
And I will get my hands on it. It's a classic after all. Eat Lead: the Return of Matt Hazard (PS3, 360) will be released on March 3.

I love the idea behind Matt Hazard, it's a play off of all of the retro hype that's been going on (not that I haven't enjoyed all of the retro hype) with Bionic Commando, Megaman 9, etc. Honestly it kind of gives off a bit of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band feel since it's a game company making up a whole history of a game series that hasn't actually existed for more than a year. I love it.
I get more of a duke nukem feeling out of this, but I like the idea, very clever
I wonder if I'd rather play a real classic game rather then one pretending to be. I must say I really enjoyed the RTYPE xblive arcade version that was just released. I'm even considering buying it. As I get older I find that I have less time for computer games and when I do play one it has to be almost perfect. I get really disapointed when I play a game for ages and it has some cr4ppy ending.
