If they are targeting easy-to-pickup games that emphasize replayability as well as local multiplayer, what better way to add value without increasing file-size? PSN really needs to get on the ball with it's XMB. I really don't ever need to hear the music of Super Stardust ever again. I switch audio inputs to listen to something else, but that means I can't hear sound fx and this also wouldn't be possible if the PS3 acted as my sole dvd player.

I love the Vector TD game over at Candystand, so if the PixelJunk game is anything close to it, then I'm all aboard. And if they could make a multiplayer version of it, where you can choose to either spend your money on upgrading troops or building towers to defend yourself? Man, that would be casual gaming heaven.

I hope Cuthbert gets a full recovery. I heard chicken pox is a bit dangerous for adults.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> I like that they got this out at 41 MB. I hate to see games like Gauntlet 2 and MK2 come out well over 100 meg when Live version of Gauntlet is like 14 meg and UMK3 is under is around 59 meg or so(its been a while since I looked so these numbers maybe be slightly off) mind you they are different versions and much smaller. I like the no size limit to make games better but not so they can be bloated.

I like this game it has personality I will probably play some more this weekend.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> I absolutely loved the demo, which was a total 180 for me. I saw the video last week and lol'ed at how stupid it looked, but after playing, I've found that its a lot of fun. It's like those old rail-style racetrack games you could put together and race your friends with.

It also reminds me of an old generic racecar handheld game that I had as a kid - you know, one of those cheapie RadioShack ones. All you had to do was move in and out of lanes. I played that thing to DEATH. Good times. I'll be buying this one for sure.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> After playing the demo. I can see myself breaking down and buying this. The tower game has me intrested. (Can't even tell you how many hours have been spent on the flash versons of that type of game)

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> Played the demo and downloaded the full game shortly after.

It's really addictive, but man-- some of the objectives require D.A.R.Y.L. reflexes.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> You know, I've seriously been on the fence about a PS3. Yes, no, maybe so... I think with all of those titles in the "pipeline," I'm really excited to play their games. I love the smaller titles like Band of Bugs and Outpost Kaloki X. This game, might just push me over the edge.

...and Tekken 5. That too.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> Nifty read indeed.
We're trying to get them out as quickly as possible,

Typically, that's a red flag for me. Take your time, get the game right.

this one quite different from the dizzying Racers. It's a tower-type game in which the goal is buy and set up towers to shoot enemies.

so effectively, it's tower defense in a stand alone game? I can think of atleast a dozen flash games over the net for free that does this.

]]> <![CDATA[PixelJunk Is More Than Just Racers]]> Mr. Ashcraft nice article!

Great morning read I say.

Am looking foward to this game too. Kinda reminds me of this old toy I used to have, it was like 4 little plastic cars with magnets under them in a tiny handheld pastic case. On that case it had a wheel that when spun the cars would move around the track. Fun little thing for when you are a kid.
