Gaming Nexus writes: "Let's face it, action games are due for a good parody. We've had a few over the years but those were games that weren't supposed to be funny. Since we're big gaming nerds and closet Duke Nukem fanboys we tracked down someone at D3 to talk about their upcoming game Eat Lead: The Matt Hazard story.
Q: Can you introduce yourself and describe your role on the project? How long have you been in the gaming industry and what drew you to your current position?
A: My name is Brian Etheridge. I am the Producer for Eat Lead, working for D3Publisher of America, Inc. I have been working in games since 2001. I was drawn into the industry because of my love for games. I started in the industry, hoping to get a job doing sound design, but gave that up when I found that producing was much more in line with my skill set. I also needed to find a way to get games for free since my gaming addiction was becoming what my psychiatrist called a 'life problem.'"
Can you judge a video game by its bad, sometimes bonkers box art? More often than not.
The Phalanx cover I do remember well, to be fair it did show a star ship on the cover too.
The worst box art in recent memory was the Doom 2016 one. That cover was depressingly generic.
We groan at the cheese. Also, The Master of Disguise.
One of our newest writers Ewan takes a look at the gaming past and with that we present to you, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard – Forgotten But Not Gone!
