Slam Bolt Scrappers looks like Tetris Smash Bros
SOE has announced a new PSN exclusive, Slam Bolt Scrappers, set to arrive sometime next year. Obviously that is waaaaay early to be analyzing how a new puzzle game works, but we do have several screenshots and a press release. It looks like Smash Bros wrapped around Tetris, if that makes any sense. And it sounds like it too:
“One to four players clash in an all-out brawl while simultaneously creating weapon packed towers that fight alongside them. Gameplay centers on assembling colored blocks into powerful weaponized turrets while defending against enemy attacks and mobbing creeps.”
Maybe even a little tower defense in there. Slam Bolt Scrappers is slated for early 2011.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. July 12, 2010 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) and videogame developer Fire Hose Games have agreed to a publishing deal that will bring Slam Bolt ScrappersTM exclusively to the PlayStation®Network in early 2011.

Slam Bolt Scrappers is a genre twisting mash-up of brawling and building set in the bizarre and fantastic Slam Bolt City.

Gameplay centers on assembling colored blocks into powerful weaponized turrets while defending against enemy attacks and mobbing creeps. The game presents a deep battle mode with tons of replayability and a fast and frantic co-op campaign filled with deviously charming baddies, epic bosses, and fun, cartoony levels.
“Fire Hose is psyched to be working with SOE on Slam Bolt Scrappers,” said Eitan Glinert, Fire Hose’s Fire Chief. “SOE has been terrific about helping us make the best game possible while letting us keep the creative freedom we need to succeed as Indies.
