Vicious Cycle Software and D3Publisher have decided it's time to poke fun at our beloved (but grizzled!) space marines, revealing the first, scant details of their upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 shooter,
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. According to the
press release, the award-winning writer behind
Dead Head Fred,
Dave Ellis, came up with the whole shebang-bang-bang.
As you might expect from a modern third-person shooter -- even a humorous one --
Eat Lead will employ a cover system (dubbed "point and cover") and "different interactive melee moves." Provided the game remembers that taking potshots at the genre doesn't exclude it from being judged as a shooter,
The Return of Matt Hazard in Q1 2009 may just be welcomed. In fact, we're just about ready to join
Matt's appropriately and believably terrible fansite.
