The aptly named PixelJunk 1-4 is the fourth game in the first series of PixelJunk games, but don't get too attached to the name, because Q-Games is holding a naming contest so that the community can have the honor of labeling this installment. Gamespot had the opportunity to play through a few levels of 1-4 for the first time at Sony's PlayStation Gamer's Day in Los Angeles last week, and they were pleased with what they saw. PixelJunk 1-4 is an action puzzle game in which you pilot a rescue ship through a hazardous underground cavern, likely on another planet, to try to save your trapped workers. Armed with missiles and a grappling hook, you use the natural elements in your environment--water and magma--to search for a path to safety.

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.'
