X-Play writes: "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is yet another example of a winning premise that fails to live up to its potential as a game. The quick summary is this: A has-been videogame star from the '80s and '90s makes a comeback in a shooter whose inhabitants are not only parodies of real game characters and clichés, but are fully aware of their game character status. Much like other high-concept offerings in recent memory, such as Turning Point: Fall of Liberty and Legendary, Eat Lead apparently thought its logline was going to be enough to coast on. It thought wrong."
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!
