Sure, there's no 3d rim-lighted bump-mapped fully anti-aliased million-polygon churning graphics engine going on, but Pixeljunk Monsters is NOT a kid's game. It's a simple strategy game with deceptively deep and rewarding gameplay, and a fantastic bargain at £3.50. I played the 2-player mode with a friend for the first time last night, and we were hooked to the co-op play for hours. Kid's game? We are both over 30. I wasn't too taken by PJ Racers although I liked the simple concept, but I am looking forward to see what they come up with next after the mighty PJ Monsters. Good on 'em, I say. Potentially great games for those who aren't snobby about graphics. Saying that, they aren't terrible graphics; just simple and functional. They're kinda cute in their way...

Racers is a very good racing game, a different concept, but it has so many game modes, and is really addictive, as you try to get those medals. Monsters is also really well done, though I have found the difficulty scale goes up really steeply. I have bought both games so far and liked them both.

I watched that video and it just baked my noodle. What are you supposed to do and what are the rules of the physics? I don’t understand. I watched that video and it just baked my noodle.

The racers game was a little lame as far as I was concerned (having played the demo), but the Monsters was great. Going off topic, may I enquire if anybody else got a "Use of Playstation Network has been suspended, Please sign in again later!" message recently? Anyone know why? It only affected me for about half an hour or so (who knows how long is was down before I tried connecting), but I'm interested to know what was up. When I got back online, there were already many many connected, and they seemed unaware of any problem. Was this just my unit, area, country, region, or what?

I never play Racers as it received pretty poor reviews and I am not that into to top-down racing games anyway, but Monsters is an amazing game and Eden looks to be very interesting from the trailer. I hope that Q-Games can build on the strong foundation that Monsters has given them I am definitely looking forward to this.
