"A lot of people complain about Microsoft Points, saying they’re deceptive as to how much you are actually spending when the idea of credit like this is to help curb your spending or make you more aware of it. Even now we can be a bit loose with our cash but when it comes to online credit we are incredibly tight and unwilling to part with our “imaginary” money."
"Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is the game we wanted from Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Blood Bath and Beyond tops the first game on all levels with its consistently funny writing and the fact it is actually fun to play."
"Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond reflects on videogaming’s yesteryear just as its’ predecessor did, but as a 2D Side-Scrolling Shooter it’s perhaps better placed to offer commentary on the mechanics of two decades ago.

"Following the release of Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network earlier this month, D3Publisher has released a Hints & Tips Guide for the Side-Scrolling Shooter bearing the name of the infamous chrome-domed protagonist.

"In the end, Blood Bath and Beyond is a very fun game. Its original, challenging, hilarious and simple fun. Little details like level-specific dialogue, and weaponry also creates a nice level of variety. Unfortunately the amount of replayability is gauged at how badly you want the achievements, afterwards no incentive to continue playing exists!"
