Some new Matt Hazard news is coming, and to herald its arrival, we received a handy pamphlet from the star of the game himself, the titular Mr. Hazard. The pamphlet is a guide to finding one's inner strength as a faded videogame hero and learning how to rise back to the top. It contains handy hints and reminders that one's thighs are mighty.
The pamphlet is kind of stupid, but that's the joy of Matt Hazard. It's kind of stupid, and that makes it kind of great. I'm glad some news is on the way, since the first game was pretty fun in spite of its problems and I really think this parody series has some legs if the developers can refine the gameplay a little. We'll stay tuned this Thursday for fresh intel on whatever's next for Matt. Hopefully that retro-style XBLA game is on the way.

maybe I can find it for cheap now
It also hurts that Matt Hazard isn't particularly good.
True, but when a game has a average of 51% on the PS3 and a 53% on the 360, that tends to point to it being a really bad game. All of those reviews can't be wrong, can they? Sure some of them can be wrong, but not all of them are going to be wrong!
Still, I had a decent amount of laughs while I played, so I'd definitely be interested in seeing what else the developers can do with the franchise.
I'll give you that the gameplay wasn't that bad, but the humor was absolutely atrocious. It sounded like Will Arnett was just rushing his lines for a paycheck (I'm a huge Arnett fan), and the actual jokes were so juvenile they were terrible (ITS HAZARD TIME! : OH MATT, NOT AGAIN! ::cue laugh track::).
