For PAX East 2010 the game that caught my attention was Slam Blot Scrappers. Developed by Fire Hose Games this Tetris-inspired title quickly became a popular game at the convention. Every time I went by the booth they had a big line of people waiting to play it. It didn't hurt that it was one of the few games on the floor that was a 4-player game."
Slam Bolt Scrappers is a strange game. Strange in an interesting way. The basic premise is that you have a building area and your opponent has a building area. You then fight over crates which can be dropped in your own building area in a sort of psuedo-tetris way. When these crates are arranged into square shapes they form turrets that shoot at the other player’s turrets. Oh! And there’s different coloured crates for different types of turrets. Also there’s ninjas and giant robots. Got all that? Good.

I wish I had stopped by to try this!
That video looks pretty intimidating.
Def. some potential here. Didn't get a chance to play it, but I like the idea of whacking people midair.
It seemed like a lot of people enjoyed the 2v2 hopefully they can build off of that.
Steroid tetris! Crack... *_*
