A couple weeks back we unveiled a mysterious and hilarious parody trailer (and some tasty fake game screens) featuring the one and only Matt Hazard, revisiting his fictional gaming titles of yesteryear. Dust off that trailer, because the game just got a talented shot in the arm.
Doogie Howser Dr. Horrible Neil Patrick Harris & Will Arnett have been pegged as the lead voice actors for Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. The comedy/FPS follows the misadventures of Matt Hazard (voiced by the snarky Will Arnett), a classic videogame character from the 80′s, out to prove that he’s still the king of gaming. (Anyone drawing a parallel to Duke Nukem?)
Things of course go horribly wrong when Wallace Wellesly (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris with, we’re guessing, evil sincerity), the owner of titan video game publisher Marathon Megasoft gives Matt the opportunity to star in a new outing that sees him facing off against every boss he’s ever faced.
We’ll let you guess how the evil unravels from there, but here’s a hint: It’s reality, not a game! (oops, we blew it, didn’t we?)
D3 Publisher is set to release this zany FPS on the X360 and PS3 sometime between January and March 2009, and we’ll keep you updated as the title progresses.
PS: If you haven’t had the bliss of experiencing the quirky and campy Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, do yourself a favor and click here now.
