Quantcast



We get it: times are tight. Gas prices have soared, and the unemployment rate is at an all time high. But surely you can scrounge up twenty bucks for a Wii game, right?

Majesco has announced that the price of Budcat Creations Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy has been dropped to $19.99. Majesco was even smart enough to refer to the Destructoid review of the title (the only review that matters) in which Jonathan Holmes called it "fantastic" and "a fine example of execllence in the genre." 

This might be a good time to rub in that you missed out Blast Works contest because you were either too lazy to participate or too cheap to buy the game at full cost. At $19.99, even the cheapest among us will get a chance to find out what you're missing out on.

Interesting, because I just got it at Best Buy last week for $9.99, now they've raised the price back up to $19.99.

Shenanigans!

I bought both Blast Work and No More Heroes literally before their 20$ price drops. And for some reason I feel good about that.

Best Buy had it for a day at $10, which was apparently a mistake since they then raised it to $20 the following day. Luckily, I got it at the $10 price point.

I hope the original review spelled 'excellence' correctly.

I was quite unlucky. I bought it for 35 about two weeks before it went down to 20 (which was about 3 weeks ago at my local Gamestop). And I was gone for those two weeks, so I didn't even get to play it.

Damn.

Sadly, with Bionic Commando Rearmed and Castle Crashers on the horizon and the kiddo's birthday in a few weeks, $19.99 is out of my budget for the next month.

The menu system in this pisses me off because I prefer using the Classic Controller and I have to use the pointer to use the menus. I also don't like how I can only see one ship at a time when I choose my player.
