The second iteration of PixelJunk Racers will be available to download later today, and existing owners of the previous title will be able to download this update for free. Only PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to purchase and download this new version today – non-subscribers will have to wait two more weeks.
PlayStation Home will be updated this week adding lots of new things for you to enjoy. First and foremost, the PixelJunk Game Space heads to Home with two separate spaces for you to explore. After stopping off at the PixelJunk Museum, stop off at the store and pick up a new mask, headphones or shirt before heading to the PixelJunk Shooter Exhibition.
The virtual TGS booth for the PixelJunk series is now available to explore in PlayStation Home, but for Japan only. We have a video of not only the TGS booth, but also the PixelJunk Museum itself. In the video below, the TGS 09 exhibit is being displayed. Not only can you watch a trailer for PixelJunk Shooter, but you can also pick up two free shirts.
A few weeks ago Dylan Cuthbert, President and Executive Producer of Q-Games Ltd., unveiled PixelJunk 1-4 in trailer form and simultaneously launched their naming contest for the game as well. Q-Games gave fans a chance to name the fourth installment in the PixelJunk series. Anyway, the results of the competition are finally in! Q-Games is proud to announce that the name of the game is PixelJunk Shooter. Andy, the artist behind the style of the game, has knocked up a stunning logo that emphasizes the liquid element really well.
Inspired by the popular and addictive “tower defense” genre, PixelJunk Monsters takes the simple real-time strategy concept of building, researching and base defending and presents it in a uniquely attractive style. With meticulously hand-drawn 2D art, PixelJunk Monsters recreates the look of a classic with crisp graphics designed for optimal viewing in Full 1080p HD.
