Your pathological hatred of robots will finally have an outlet on March 13, when Ubisoft and Demiurge Studios release Shoot Many Robots on PSN for $10. An XBLA version follows the next day. The previously announced PC version was not mentioned in the press release -- but it'll be later, because it's an Ubisoft game.
A new dev diary (above) traces the evolution of the game, from its humble beginnings as "Throw Rocks at Two Robots," into its transitional "Swing a Heavy Pipe at Several Robots" period, to the delivery of the prototype version, "Shoot A Couple Dozen Robots." We're kidding about all of that except the existence of a dev diary.
