So much parody it hurts: Matt Hazard dated for PSN, XBLA photo

Matt Hazard along with all of his geeky references and faux history full of games will be present in Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond, a side-scrolling shooter for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network.

On top of the big news that the game will be available on January 6 for Xbox 360 and then the day after for PS3, we have been given a price, too: 1200 Microsoft Points/$14.99. Also, Matt's sidekick Dexter Dare -- the guy depicted chugging mana in the attached gallery (he has a problem) -- has been revealed.

You might recognize him from the totally-not-fake series Matt and Dexter. We're told he's since kicked his mana addiction in order to better serve under Matt.

See, I was being dead serious when I said these guys are all about the ridiculous marketing.

You know what? At that price, and as long as the controls hold up, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Will Arnett's one funny guy in a $5400 suit. COME ON!

Im gonna assume that this is a co-op game and that means that this is a buy..

Never touched the already released Matt Hazard game because of the reviews, but I might be willing to give this one a shot if it's at least half decent. Playing Shadow Complex really got me in a mood for more 2D games.

Gotta say the first one was a great surprise, it was a fun shooter that actually included variety which is always nice to see and the humour is top notch, the Final Fantasy like boss battle is one I will always remember fondl, absolutely classic!

Anyone who didn't play the original game because it got "poor reviews" missed the point of the damn game and should be ashamed of themselves.

I can't wait for this, if it's even half as amazing as Matt's last 7 or so games, it'll be well worth the money.

Making people play through poorly designed, cliched levels while saying "Hey, isn't this cliche?" does not a good game make.
