Joystiq: Right about now you're probably thinking, "Cool, a compilation of the first four PixelJunk games!" followed by, "Wait a second ... there have only been three PixelJunk games." This is true. As you can no doubt tell from the above screenshot, PixelJunk 1-4 is an entirely new downloadable PS3 title from Kyoto-based Q-Games. It just doesn't have a final name yet.
We can think of some adjectives to describe this summer release based on our first hands-on. "Fun" comes to mind, as does "simple." Two staples of the PixelJunk franchise, when you think about it. Oh, and "really cool fluid dynamics." Wassat? Let us explain after the break.

Don’t expect future PixelJunk titles to force you to go out of your way in order to get 100% trophy completion.

Every gamer should have a quality shooter in their repertoire, but quite often the feel of the game can translate straight to frustration, instead of fun. If the control scheme is too touchy or slow to respond, all other factors become irrelevant. No matter how gorgeous the graphics...

TheSixthAxis: 'Zuler's been at it again, this time bringing us some trophies for Pixeljunk Shooter, a good couple of weeks before it might release here and a month before it will release in Japan. He's away right now, though, so it falls down on my considerably manly shoulders to post them. Please, thank our dear Zuler in the comments.'
