Don't throw things, but I PixelJunk Eden on the PlayStation Network was one of my favorite downloadable titles of 2008. Yes, I enjoyed it more than Braid and World of Goo -- sorry, Internet!
So when Dylan Cuthbert, the President of PixelJunk's developer Q-Games promises two to three new games from the company in 2009, I get excited. Cuthbert offers no details, making this one of the first teases of the New Year, and a nasty one at that. But considering the PixelJunk games have gotten consistently more interesting and larger in scope -- starting with the straight-forward slot-car PixelJunk Racers to the stunning Eden -- this bodes well.
I wish I knew what was up their sleeves for 2009, but I'm not even going to try to guess. Instead, I'm just going to wait patiently. While you're waiting, check out our review of PixelJunk Eden and my interview with Cuthbert from last year.
OK, you know what -- I'm done waiting. Is this new stuff out already, or what?

in a psn video interview, Dylan showed a couple of stills of canned ideas and in one of those 6 or so pictures was a still of a game they are working on, he wouldn't say which picture it was though.
they all have the same kind of art style behind them with eden being the standout.
i'd say Pixel Junk Eden, WipeOut HD, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, Pixel Junk Monsters, and Super Stardust HD.
Although there are others, just got Suikoden for ps1 <3, and there is also Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty, and probably some others. But I think these are the some of the best you can get right now.
I semi-like pixel junk eden, missing jumps that takes you back to start of the level is just too frustrating for my careless personality.
I love pixel junk monsters, however. That thing is way too addictive, and really enjoyable with a friend where you get to discuss how to tackle the next set of monsters.
But that first.
<3 everyday shooter.
there's gotta be some others I'm missing...
Oh, and even though most people dismiss it as mindless crap, Pain is actually quite good and requires a lot of strategy and planning in order to succeed at the harder goals. All you need is the initial game and the Abusement Park expansion. The Movie Studio and extra characters are all stupid and unecessary.
Eden and Monsters are awesome local co-op games. I didn't really care for PJ Racers.
Eden can get pretty tricky with 3 people playing but really entertaining. Everyone has to be on the same page or it can get pretty ugly...
Pixel Junk Eden is amazing. It's been awhile since I had so much fun losing at a videogame.
