Shack News: The upgraded Gold Edition of Max and the Magic Marker will hit the PlayStation Network on September 28 in Europe, and October 18 in North America. Developer Press Play announced the release date plans today, following the recent announcement of the port. A price still hasn't been announced.

Indie Royale has launched their newest bundle which features four games available on both PC and Mac including one exclusive Indie Royale title.

Jody Mulhern of Brash Games writes "Available on iOS, PSN, PC, Mac, Wii and now, Nintendo DS, Max and the Magic Marker has enjoyed wide exposure to the gaming community, amassing significant cult status for itself and developer Press Play. And now, being a game where drawing is an integral part of the experience, one would assume that it should continue its reign of quiet conquest on the DS".

IGN - In Max & the Magic Marker, the titular Max must work his way through a series of side-scrolling stages while using his trusty orange-colored magic marker to help him on his quest. As various iterations of the game have been released on WiiWare, PC and iOS, the formula for the game hasn't changed; Max's magic marker can draw platforms, ramps and other basic items to assist him.
