I guess I finally need to give in and buy Pixeljunk Monsters, though it will just sit there until I finish Mass Effect (PC).

I'm gonna get 1942: Joint Strike, used to love playing variations of that game at the arcades. In Hi-Def 3D FTW!

Ah, damn, read the review on this at ign. It's kinda weak...

If you don't have PJM by the end of this sale, you're part of the problem.

I like it. A lot. I had to stop after clearing the level the first time though so I don't spoil myself on the full game.

I've been wanting to try PixelJunk Eden, glad there's a demo. Also glad Monsters is finally on sale, I think I'll pick it up even though it probably won't get a whole hell of a lot of playtime.

I got PJM, the PJE demo, and Echochrome demo. I thought every PS3 comes w/ a coupon for free PAIN. Or maybe it's just the MGS4 bundle.

Not everybody bought their PS3 within the past year...

Someday I'll figure out how to browse this PSN place where you get these marvels called demos and stuff. ;)

Pixel Junk Monsters for $5 is an absolute steal! I feel like I cannot convey to the people who don't have it, just how much entertainment this game can give you. Between me and my wife (I cannot get her to stop playing it actually), the game has gotten more action than another DLC game this generation--including Super Stardust HD or Pacman Championship Edition.

There is a demo out there I think--at the very least, check that out.

I played some PJM last night, it was a lot of fun. Just haven't played tower defense for so long, I'm a little rusty. I think I'm gonna like it.

PJE is really trippy! I want the full version now!

I hope you're kidding. PSN navigation is so easy a blind monkey can do it. There are 2 main options up top, Videos or Games. After you click on Games, there's a whole list of catagories on the left side, which includes games, trailers, demos, themes/wallpapers, etc.

I am addicted to the PJE demo. Fantastic game. So simple yet so complex, and a great challenge. I'm definitely going to buy the full version. I'll have to try out the PJM demo and see if it's as enjoyable and grab it while it's on sale.

Just a note, the PJE demo locks once you've gotten 5 spectra, regardless of how many levels you get through. If you want to play more, just delete your save file and start over.

Kinda. I've went to the website and looked through stuff but haven't really done much of that via the console menu.
