Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard Launch Trailer Recalls Classic 80s Commercials

by Nick Breckon, Feb 23, 2009 12:38pm PST

This wonderful Matt Hazard trailer hearkens back to a time of lo-fi game ads, with voiceovers by "really excited old dude." A time when we were all getting ready to "enter a new world," and Neil Patrick Harris was just "Doogie."

Here's to hoping Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard lives up to its concept, and works as an actual game. You might not believe your eyes on March 3, when the game hits stores on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

I was watching this demoed on X Play and it looked rather impressive. I had a good laugh at the Wolfenstein Nazis because they're in 2d and instead of taking cover to avoid getting shot they just turn sideways and thus become more or less invisible.

  The gameplay videos looks very boring and they probably already showed all the funny in the trailers. : razlebol

The awesome concept of this kind of falls apart when you realize the character himself looks painfully modern. If this is out on the PC it needs a mullet or flattop mod.

Hahaha, that was one of the best commercials ever. I used to hate the 80's, but I miss them now :(
