Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond Launches

I know this isn’t really a garage oriented update but I’m pretty excited about our latest video game offering and wanted to talk about it here.  Our latest game, Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond, launched yesterday on Xbox Live Arcade and today on PlayStation Network for the PS3.  It’s an old school, Contra style arcade shooter and it is HARD! If you’re up for a challenge then check it out!!

Our first review came through yesterday on IGN.  If any of you are unfamiliar with the games industry, IGN is basically one of the top two review publications on the internet.  They gave us a 7.9 out of a possible 10.  Even though I think it is much better than a 7.9, I am extremely happy about this.  Our games tend to not get the hype and attention that other blockbuster games get which often translates into poor reviews.  Also, I believe this game ended up being nicely scoped for the time we had to build it.  I am hopeful that we get similar or better treatment in the GameSpot review. 

Anyway, check out the media below for an idea of what BBB is all about.  Warning: the game is rated M so there is some blood in the footage.
