VGM got to spend some time with PixelJunk Monsters at a Sony media event and came away impressed by this simple, yet fun downloadable title for PS3's Playstation Network. PJM is the second of a three game series of PixelJunk titles by Q-Games and showcases hand-drawn 2-D art in a real time strategy setting that involves building towers to defend your base.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.

Nintendo has just revealed on their website that PixelJunk Monsters will be coming to the Wii U via the eShop tomorrow.
Wow that is unexpected for such an old, but good game. First time the game has been on a console that wasn't Sony.

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
For me anyways, catsle defense is one of my favorite Flash games. So this is right up that alley.
One of favorite games from Sega Genesis is Gems Of Power and it looks like this game is going to be similar to it.
$8-10 bucks ain't so bad I guess.
This will probably be the first game I download onto my PS3. So far my money has gone toward the VC, but I can't wait to try this one out.
This sounds like a game I could get into. I have always like defense games. This one sounds a lot like desktop defense. That is a great example to follow.
So, is it like Rampart? Build then defend.
