Gamer 2.0 PixelJunk Eden Impressions

Gamer 2.0 writes: "It certainly seems that what Q Games has done to the platforming genre with PixelJunk Eden is similar to what Lumines did for the puzzle genre a few years ago, which is give it a striking visual style, a great beat, and keep the gameplay simple enough so that the whole game can become an experience itself. Besides just everything mentioned here, Eden's doing a few new things that few PS3 games, if any, actually can do right now. Eden's the first PS3 game to launch with trophies out of the gate, which should be a good thing for those that have plowed through Super Stardust HD already. PixelJunk Eden's also the first PS3 game to feature the new YouTube recording feature, which lets you record up to 10 minutes of gameplay to either save to your hard drive or upload straight to YouTube to share your gameplay secrets with the world. Besides those two main features, Eden also supports remote play to let you bring your garden adventures on the road. It looks like PixelJunk Eden will be a very robust experience, maybe more so than most would think at first glance, but you should be happy to know that it'll be out July 31 on the PlayStation Store with a demo already out at this moment."

how can something so simple, be so much fun. I loved the demo. Very relaxing.

buckethead_X5752d ago

was amazing. This game is made of pure win. It's so simple, yet your skill really increases and allows you to do better maneuvers with greater ease and go at a faster speed. You can go back to find all the Spectres (I think), creating a huge replay value and causes your Eden to flourish. Combine that with cool art, great graphics, trophies, video recording, in-game xmb, and a low pricetag, and you have yourself a first-day buy right there :D

First Ever PayPal Gaming Sale Features PixelJunk Bundle, ‘Don’t Starve’

PayPal is probably the last company I was expecting to start selling games for cheap, but with deals like these, it’s tough to complain. By using Paypal to as your payment method, you’ll be able to score deals on a number of gaming goods like the PixelJunk Bundle, Don’t Starve and its early access DLC, Xbox Live Gold cards, Razr Mouse Pads, and much, much more.

Paypal screwed me over too many times so I stopped using them, This will not change anything.

I have only ever used Paypal for my ebay stuff, is that where they screwed you over? I am curious to know what happened so I can be cautious myself, thanks in advance.

GentlemenRUs3680d ago (Edited 3680d ago )

People using false claims to get there money back for something that isn't true at all.

Ebay didn't do anything about it, He got away with it...

Guy said item was faulty, Got item back and was in fully working order... He committed Fraud... Ebay stuck the finger in my face and let him get away with it.

Sounds like it was ebay, not paypal... The exact same thing could have happened if you used a bank account instead of paypal.

And if you got the item back, how was it fraud? Maybe it just didn't work for him for some reason.

uberbelly3680d ago

I too, would like to know. How was thou screwed?

redknight803680d ago

Yeah, I agree with annus (lol) that this seems more of an Ebay issue than Paypal. Did you end up getting your money back or did you only just get your item back and nothing more? Unfortunate as it is, scamming on Ebay seems kind of easy from what I have heard of and I sell on Ebay sometimes so I am quite cautious. Thanks for your information though, more reason to be cautious, I guess.

I had Paypal charge a credit card that I had deleted (all traces of) 12 months earlier. I even threatened (and genuinely considered) legal action, but decided to simply close my account instead.

They also (along with Ebay) took money from my account from an Ebay sale when the buyer claimed he never received the item (I am fine with these rules). When that buyer was found to be a fraud and have his account banned, they still didn't refund my money.

Paypal are evil.

uberbelly3680d ago

Always ship with tracking/delivery confirmation. I had this happen to me as well. I wouldn't say PayPal was at fault here. It's the shippers responsibility to prove the item was shipped/received.

Just to add to the paypal sucks club:

If you have more than one credit/debit card on paypal, and you have already linked your bank account, EVEN IF YOU SELECT A DIFFERENT DEBIT CARD AT CHECKOUT, IT WILL CHARGE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NO MATTER WHAT.

I ordered a Wii U on ebay (from neweggs ebay page) and when paypal came up, I selected my parents card to pay for it (needed it because it was a flash sale and I didn't have the money in my account, but did have it in cash), and then for some reason, it charged to my debit card anyway, the one that I had linked to my paypal account, with no funds, despite the fact that I specifically chose my parents card at checkout. I ended up having to pay a 22 dollar overdraft fee from my bank account because of their terrible, sneaky system, which I don't know if it is deliberate, or just horrible site design, but it's some bullcrap that hasn't changed.

Here's a thread about it that shows other people with the same problem: https://www.paypal-communit...

Now I try and stay away from using paypal as much as I can.
