I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one excited by Majesco's awesome 2D shump Blast Works (releasing today June 10).

The game is getting reviewed well, and has crazy quirks and almost unlimited replay, not to mention a cheap price - $40. For those that don't know, you shoot enemies, but can add their shells to your ship to shoot like they have while using the addition as a shield. The content editor is amazing, and actually has easy to use internet capability, avoiding some of the normal friend code difficulties. I'm hoping that Majesco has good sales for the game, every once in a while they pull off something brilliant (remember Psychonaughts anyone?). Since its largely an expanded, and more fleshed out version of a a highly addictive flash game I'm hoping they only have to sell like 50,000 for a sequel, as I remain hopelessly in love with the 2D shump genre...

It really should be a no-brainer if you liked Ikaruga, Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun or are looking forward to games like Gyrostar on Wii Ware.

I'm buying it tommorow, so if I disappear for awhile you'll know why...

But lets see some of that art 

Yeah man, this game looked really awesome. The IGN video review is pretty great, which is how it caught my attention. I will try to land a copy and a Wii to play it on next weekend.

I think the game looks pretty good...I just have too many other games to get through first. Maybe afterwards I'll get to check it out

dont even knows when it's released in the uk so here's hoping you all have plenty of levels ready for whenever I get it.

Anyone know the uk release date?

This sucker's probably going to be my July purchase. Unless Alone in the Dark is amazing, then it might have to wait until August.

Cant wait for it to hit Aus

Any art yet? I'm waiting for my copy to arrive still.
