This game is rated ESRB: Teen for Language, Violence and Mild Suggestive Themes.
A third-person shooter developed by Vicious Cycle Software and released in 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is built around a satirical premise: Matt Hazard is a fictional gaming icon with a fabricated history stretching back 25 years, constructed entirely by publisher D3 Publisher to frame his supposed comeback. The game itself serves as a broad parody of action-game conventions, poking fun at the clichés that have accumulated across decades of the genre. Will Arnett voices Hazard, while Neil Patrick Harris plays his antagonist, Wallace "Wally" Wellesley. The cast received a nomination for Best Cast at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. The game's pre-release marketing leaned into the joke with a mockumentary-style trailer presented as a Behind the Music-style retrospective, tracing Hazard's fictional rise and fall in a manner reminiscent of the Duke Nukem franchise's evolution from 8-bit origins to modern platforms.
