I have been enjoying Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard on the PS3, so when I saw that he had a game coming to PSN, I was pretty excited. I checked out the demo last night, and all I can say is that Im glad there was a demo, or I would have wasted $15!!!
Bloodbath and Beyond once again has Matt Hazard going through his previous video games, breaking the fourth wall as he goes. The humor from Eat Lead is definitely still present in the game, which is a good thing. However, rather than a third person shooter, this time its a side scrolling adventure. On the plus side, you can bring a friend along locally for some co-op goodness. But then again, if the person is your friend, you dont want to drag them into this mess of a game.

Steve recently purchased Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard from Gamefly for a sweet $7 and change. After playing through it, he let me hold on to it for a playthrough (since he has been holding on to my copy of Fallout 3 for like a year now). While it is a run of the mill third person shooter, the story is what makes this game such a blast to play.
It gets a bit complicated, but Eat Lead is the first game to feature Matt Hazard. However, in the game you take on the role of Matt Hazard, who has been in video games for 25 years, from the 8-bit generation to the present. Basically, Matt finds himself thrown into a game world where he is forced to save friends and face foes from his previous games. On my initial playthrough, I assumed that there were previous Matt Hazard games, and thats where all this story and enemies were coming from, but I was wrong, and its all made up to make the story.
