D3Publisher’s Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond now has a date with both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. It will arrive on January 6 and 7 on Microsoft and Sony’s platforms, respectively. Playing on the same camp featured in the original retail Matt Hazard game — which parodied other games and featured an aging video game star — Blood Bath & Beyond is a 2D shooter in the same vein as many classics like Contra and Bionic Commando.
Alongside the release date, D3 has also revealed Dexter Dare, Matt Hazard’s burnt out sidekick with a sordid history — including a prolonged “Mana abuse problem” that we’re probably supposed to find hilarious. Check out some new screens and Dexter Dare character art in the gallery below.

Though we’re confident Infinite Interactive’s Puzzle Quest 2 will eventually be a mega-multiplatform release like its predecessor, D3Publisher announced that the game’s roll-out will start on DS and Xbox Live Arcade. It’ll be out in spring 2010, along with every other game you’ve ever heard of, which means that you’ll now have the choice to play all those games or Puzzle Quest. They’ll occupy about the same amount of time.
Puzzle Quest 2 will let players match gems as one of four new character classes: War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian, or Assassin, using “all-new weapons, spells, and shields.” Sorry if you just got over a Puzzle Quest addiction.

If you’ve been dying to march Akira Toriyama-designed characters through fantasy landscapes and monster-infested dungeons, you’ll be saddened to hear that Dragon Quest IX has yet to be announced for North American release. As if sensing your oddly specific yearning, D3Publisher has stepped in with a US debut for Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow.
Dubbed Blue Dragon: Ikai no Kyojuu in Japan (and published by Namco Bandai, which owns the majority of D3Publisher), the second DS entry in the Mistwalker’s role-playing franchise stars a new protagonist, with gender, facial features and clothing determined by your input. Awakened Shadow is set two years after the events of the Xbox 360 game and finds Shu and the gang returning to Blue Dragon’s “contemporary” RPG gameplay. Expect to upgrade weaponry, tactically change shadows and skip every scene featuring Marumaro.
Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is scheduled for release in Spring 2010.
