Matt Hazard Returns

D3Publisher has announced Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, bringing everyone's favorite gun-toting superstar back to the forefront of gaming culture. Or at least, that's what they tell us. Nobody's actually ever seen or played a Matt Hazard title before; it's just a clever marketing campaign for what is essentially a parody game based on popular shooter standards. They've even made a fake history of Matt Hazard games. "Eat Lead parodies some of our fondest memories in classic gaming and pop culture, so gamers will have a laugh out loud experience everytime they pick-up the controller," said Pete Andrew, a D3P exec.

  1. They already made this game.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It was called Serious Sam

    I can't help but get the feeling that someone got impatient waiting for DNF and decided to take matters into their own hands. And like DNF, it quickly became a joke.

    Again, I would like to point out an acronym I suggested a while back: OFFSALRTFS! - "Oh For Fuck's Sake At Least Read The Fucking Summary!" The logical progression from RTFA.

    Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll

    Too long and hard to remember. I suggest RTFSS "Read The Fucking Summary Shithead". It is nice and short,clear and to the point. And of course for those that refuse to even bother to look in the manual before asking stupid questions you could have RTFMD "Read The Fucking Manual Douchebag" which again is short(only one extra letter),clear and gets your irritation across. Both are certainly easier to remember at 3AM than OFFSALRTFS!

    How can you parody "Duke Nukem" when it was already a parody of action movie hero stereotypes?
