D3Publisher is really hamming up the whole Matt Hazard thing. In just a few weeks, the publisher will ship Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game follows the exploits of a fictional "legendary" videogame character, its tongue firmly planted in its cheek as it pokes fun at staples of the games industry.
This publisher has now announced that a "classic" Matt Hazard title is rumored to be coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network later this summer. Yeah, seriously -- the publisher sent us a press release saying "Hey, did you hear these rumors?" Crazy bastards. They also passed along some artwork which makes the game look like a ridiculous Contra clone, with Hazard fighting weird yeti creatures, ninjas, and a robotic dinosaur.
Of course, all of this sounds completely f**king bonkers, and that's the point. It also sounds totally awesome, am I right? Want to know more? Check out our early preview of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

Looks promising, but then turns out to be total shit. Maybe I'll be wrong, but then again that's just my opinion.
You thought Jumper looked promising?

an the "classic" matt hazard games, look promising, i'll certainly demo/trial them (granted that it should come to PSN/XBLA)
I think D3 are really doing well after Dark Sector, as a developer to watch. I love the Matt Hazard trailers.
The ironic thing is that Matt Hazard is doing, is what Duke Nukem should have been doing to make a come back.
A new game on Live, yeah I'll check it out.
The developer of Matt Hazard is Vicious Cycle, responsible for... Dead Head Fred and a bunch of crappy licensed games.
Still interested to see how this turns out. Have my fingerless gloves from PAX still ;P.
What? I'm a 2D whore.
