Former Out cover boy Neil Patrick Harris and proud papa Will Arnett will lend their voices to the original third-person shooter video game Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard coming soon from DP3. In the game, Arnett -- the proud baby daddy to SNL star Amy Poehler, who just gave birth to their first son, Archie -- plays '80s video game action hero Matt Hazard, while Harris plays Wallace "Wally" Wellesley, the villain. (Just how we like our men -- adorable and evil!) According to a press release at Kotaku.com:
"Matt gets his chance to prove once and for all that he is the king of shooters when Wallace 'Wally' Wellesley, new owner of mega game publisher Marathon Megasoft, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, gives Matt his comeback role starring in a new next-gen title that pits him against all of his memorable foes from video games past. In the world of Eat Lead, however, everything stops being a game and becomes reality when players discover through the original storyline brought to life by Arnett's and Harris' voiceover that someone is using the new game to bring about Matt's death once and for all."
Pete Andrew, vice president of product development for D3P believes that Harris and Arnett are perfect choices to helm the video game as they both "are life long video gamers and their experiences playing games combined with their comedic genius and superb voice talent will make Eat Lead a must-have title for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 system."
We're the first to admit our tendencies toward pacifism (we're lovers-slash-sexer-uppers, not fighters!)
have held us back from becoming the greatest third-person shooters to ever walk the earth, but seeing as we're totally smitten with both Harris and Arnett, it might be possible to convince us to strap on some faux ammo just to hear their mellifluous voices.
