Trash Panic, formally only knows by its Japanese name Gomibako, has finally been revealed for a Western release by the PlayStation Blog.

Trash Panic is a new take on the classic Tetris formula - instead of falling blocks you have falling trash like kettles, bags, refrigerators and other objects which you use to fill up your trash compactor. Unlike the structered way that Tetris works you can cram smaller objects between other ones using a fairly advanced physics engine, and to destroy trash you instead wait until something on fire or something explosive makes it into the tin and destroys those which are flammable.

For those who have played it in Japan it's been given a good amount of praise. That version appeared at a fairly high price however, but hopefully it will make it here at the standard $9.99 pricepoint.

Trash Panic is expected to be released around the end of May or early June.
