As mentioned in CAG Foreplay #32, there's a seemingly budget-shovelware-looking game that just came out called Barnyard Blast: Swine Of The Night...

Aside from the abysmal looking cover and the little DSI Games logo in the corner which always sends off "no touchy" warnings when I'm looking at budget titles, the screenshots don't really seem to do it justice either:

It looks to me like Porky Pig doing an Indiana Jones cartoon, and the huge icon of your pig-face seems to be on the lower screen at all times.
With that said, CAG Shipwreck has high hopes for this title and said he will soon be interviewing someone from the company who made it.
It's a budget title, and with the lovely GCO bonus I'm tempted to get it for $10 shipped from Buy.com, but everything in my bones says this game is going straight to clearance/endcap status almost immediately after release.
It's already been released, but I can't find a single review ANYWHERE for this thing, which is usually a bad thing. It doesn't even show up on Metacritic.
I could be completely wrong, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has anything to contribute. Is it a great Castlevania/Alien Hominid blend? Or is it a cheesy, too-kid-friendly and short shovelware budget title from the kings of shovelware (DSI)?
