Games to Come: Matt Hazard

I really think this game is going to be hilarious. (Whether it will be fun to play is still at question.)

It's hard to explain so I'll quote wikipedia:

Matt Hazard pits players in the role of the title character, a "legendary" gaming hero who is "returning to glory" in a new video game, some 25 years after his debut game and 6 years after his last game. In reality, the Matt Hazard character is in his first video game, with a history made up by D3 Publisher to chronicle the character's rise and fall in popularity. The Return of Matt Hazard marks Hazard's fictitious "comeback" to the gaming scene.

Basically its a video game making fun of video games.

My favorite example from this game where Matt fights a character from a "Pan-Ultimate Illusons" game (get it? Final Fantasy?):

Here's the newest trailer they released (via Joystiq):

And here's the website with the original trailer:

I hope that this game will be as awesome as it makes itself out to be.
