GamePro: PixelJunk 1-4 Preview

Like the other games in the PixelJunk series, 1-4 is a 2D game rendered in glorious 1080p hi def. Set deep beneath the earth's crust, you control a small rocket-propelled capsule that traverses a series of honeycombed caverns sprinkled with hazards. Though you'll blast swarms of bats and small gun turrets, your chief enemy is heat. And deep underground, there are rivers of lava that can scorch your tiny metal vessel into a baked potato. When your heat meter builds up, you can take a dip in an underground river to cool down. Your primary goal is to stay alive by avoiding lava, but you can use your winch to pick up stranded survivors for extra points.

psn games will never get plats unless they got enough content to be comparable to disc games.

Games people should play: PixelJunk Shooter, A Control Freaks Remedy

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...

Pixeljunk Shooter Trophies

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.'
