Blast Works almost as cheap as the PC version

If Gamestop's listing is to be believed, Blast Works is scheduled for an October 10th release at a lovely $19.99. While that's still roughly infinity times more expensive than the original PC TUMIKI Fighters (which was cheap as free), it's quite cheap for a Wii game. Some people may have a problem with Majesco charging anything for even an updated version of freeware, but we'll admit it-- we were expecting Majesco to go for the $50 price tag with this one.

A shooter creation system plus a load of awesome shovelware for $20? We think we can do that.

So you praise these games in one article and call them shovelware in the next?

rRootage, etc. are free PC games that Majesco decided to stick on the disc along with Blast Works. I still praise them. In fact, I said they're awesome. But what else would you call a bunch of extra games put on the disc just because? It's good shovelware!
