CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Slam Bolt Scrappers, the brawling and building mash-up from Fire Hose Games, published by Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE), is now available exclusively on the PlayStation®Network for US $14.99.
Slam Bolt Scrappers is the ultimate mash-up of crazy, beat-em-up brawling and fast-paced, puzzle building, set inside the explosive Slam Bolt universe. One to four players race to build powerful, weapon packed towers from colored blocks in either the gloriously chaotic battle mode or the epic co-op campaign. Players must assemble powerful towers built from multi-colored blocks that drop arcade-style into the playing field. Each color set will create a different weapon system used to defend against enemy attacks, or go on the offensive with lasers, missiles, and more.
"As a leading publisher of independent titles, SOE is excited to introduce Slam Bolt Scrappers exclusively to the PlayStation Network," said Micah Loucks, Senior Producer at Sony Online Entertainment. "Fire Hose Games is a highly-innovative development team and have succeeded in creating a fast-paced, one-of-a-kind gaming experience that casual and hardcore fans will all enjoy."

frantic brawl, fighting each other or battling deviously intelligent
