Introducing PixelJunk Inc, The Newest PixelJunk Game

Since 2007, Kyoto based Q-Games has been churning out innovative downloadable titles. These include games like PixelJunk Monsters, PixelJunk Eden, and PixelJunk 4am.


Japan’s Indie Games Are An Untapped Resource Of Cool

The entire room was packed. This has to be a fire hazard, someone said. It probably was, but no one cared. They were too busy looking at cool games they had never seen before and meeting game creators they had heard of and never heard of before.


The Next PixelJunk Is A PC Game

Kyoto based Q-Games is working on its new title. The game, currently codenamed PixelJunk 1-6, is being made with the PC specifically in mind. Above is a first look.


The PixelJunk Folks Are Definitely Interested In The Glorious PC Master Race

If you say “Q-Games”, the first things that come to mind are probably Nintendo and Sony. (Oh, and there’s that other Japan-based developer with a similar name.) But you think consoles. You don’t think computers. Consoles. That could change.


Sony About To Break Out A Massive PixelJunk Sale

Some of my favourite console experiences this generation have come from PixelJunk games, my personal favourite being PixelJunk Monsters, and now to celebrate Q Games’ 10th anniversary, all of the PixelJunk games are on sale, starting tomorrow.


Finally, A Music Game That Lets You Look Cool While Playing

It’s hard to look cool when you’re playing most music video games. You may think you look cool with your dinky plastic guitar or humorously scale-sized drum set, but in reality you look like… well, a person playing a plastic instrument. At the Penny Arcade Expo, a winning team assembles on-stage to play through a Rock Band song for a huge, screaming audience.


What’s A Better Video Game Goal Than A High Score? Your Approval.

I’ll try any video game, because any video game might have the year’s best idea in it.


PixelJunk SideScroller Is The 1980s Arcade Game You’ve Been Waiting For

PixelJunk SideScroller is a 1980s-style arcade game made for the 26th century. It’s a side scrolling-shot-em-up that exceeds in everything it attempts to pull off.


How PixelJunk Monsters Saved My Marriage

One house. One newly wed couple. One television. Unless you find some sort of common ground — quickly — this is the kind of thing that can break marriages. At the very least it’s the starting point for the definition of boundaries. Who rules the roost, who wears the pants? Often clichés are clichés for a reason, particularly when it comes to relationships. Particularly when it comes to control of the television.


PixelJunk Sidescroller Scrolls Into Being On October 25

Via its twitter account, Q Games has announced that the next game in its stellar PixelJunk series, PixelJunk SideScroller, is set for release October 25 on the PlayStation Network. That’s a US date – but we rarely have delays on the PSN, so we can expect an Australian release will be forthcoming.
