Fire Hose Games (known informally as Fire Hose) is a new game development studio based in Cambridge, MA that creates console video games for purchase through digital download. The company is currently working on its first title, a builder/brawler mash up called Slam Bolt Scrappers. The game will be released in early 2011 as a Playstation 3 exclusive on the Playstation Network.
Slam Bolt Scrappers received critical acclaim at both PAX East 2010 and E3 2010, receiving a nomination from Kotaku for Best of E3.
