Life of Pixel is the fantastically nostalgic trip through gaming history by Super Icon Ltd.
Released, initially, via Sony's PlayStation Mobile service, the London based developer is now looking to bring the game to more people and more platforms.
If you don't know what Life of Pixel is it, it's probably understandable. While it's my personal favourite and likely best game on the PS Mobile service, it's hard to say that PS Mobile has been the success that it really could and should be.
Let's focus on the game rather than the platform though.
Life of Pixel is a challenging adventure that takes you through various worlds, each based around classic gaming machines. You've got your Atari 2600's, your Commodore 64's and your Nintendo Entertainment Systems.
You play as Pixel, a green pixel who wanted to see more and takes a journey through a digital video game museum. The emphasis is definitely on making you nostalgic, both in art styles as well as challenge. The tight controls definitely make it more appealing where every mistake is your own doing and there's just enough "one more go" moments to keep you playing. Every "console" has its own unique style and you will often find yourself smiling as you remember playing on the actual devices for the first time ever.
So, why am I writing this? I'm not being paid for it but, sometimes, games just deserve better. Super Icon are trying to get Kickstarter backing to bring the game to PC, Mac and Android/iOS, with Ouya, Wii U and PS3 as platforms for their stretch goals. All I can ask you to do is look at their Kickstarter page and decide if this is something you want to be a part of. If not, I still highly recommend picking up the game from the PS Store.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
