OK, Matt Hazard. You Win.

When the game Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard was first announced, I was immediately put off. The whole "viral" nature of the game's announcement and subsequent fake development back story just felt like it was trying too hard. Then, once the game was actually announced and D3 and Vicious Cycle started talking about it, it just sounded too weird. Too "game-within-a-game." Too clever, even. I don't know. Whatever it was, it just completely put me off.

I'm still not entirely sold on the Eat Lead (as I haven't really seen it running), but there's a humor to the game's achievements that I can certainly appreciate. Xbox360Achievements has posted up a list, and here are a few that jumped out at me...

• It's HAZARD TIME! - Start your first game. - 15 points
• Take 5. - Pause the game for the first time. - 5 points
• ...Where Credit Is Due - Watch the credits from beginning to end. - 60 points

It's worth noting that aside from a secret 100 point achievement, that 60 pointer for the credits is the highest-scoring achievement in the game. That's pretty good. It'd be really funny, though, if that achievement was practically impossible to get. Like, maybe the credits are six hours long. Or maybe there's some stupid-hard gameplay associated with the credits. I'd be way into that.

Either way, you never know what it is about a game that's going to put it on your radar. Sounds like a lot of people got on-board once they heard that Will Arnett and Neil Patrick Harris were going to be doing voices. For me, it's these stupid-in-a-good-way achievements that leave me wanting to know more.

What do you think? Any interest in this seemingly self-aware third-person shooter?
