Christmas has come early - PixelJunk Monsters Online is now officially on FaceBook!
An avowed PixelJunkie, I couldn't be more excited to bring these tidings of joy: Q-Games, Ltd. has today, December 16, officially launched the open beta version of PixelJunkMonsters Online. As I've been playing in the closed beta for a number of weeks now I can say with certainty that this is awesome news!

Those familiar with the PSN PixelJunk Monsters game will find many recognizable elements, but with far more competition and creativity. Levels are shorter, increasing replay and runs at high scores; you can plant trees for tower construction with a new Seed feature, making discerning the "best" way to solve a level a challenge in itself, and - for the truly stumped - you can spend a few rainbows to sneak a peak at a friend's higher scoring solution to a level (If the word "rainbow" doesn't send a thrill of pleasure down your mouse arm, that's only because you haven't played yet)!
Tower Defense at its core, the online version has a new world map broken up into levels where you defend the homes of the TikiMen against waves of monsters by building and leveling towers and collecting gold and gems. As you successfully defend a tile your playable territory expands opening up new levels as well as tiles with special secrets all their own.
You compete against your friends for gold, silver and bronze crowns not just for high score glory, but for the daily in-game gold bonus the ranking system dishes out. The in-game shop accepts this gold currency, and there is the option to exchange your real-life currency if you want to boost your in-game stockpile. Truth be told, throughout my Beta play I haven't found the need to belly up to that cash register, which definitely eases the sting of (gasp!) *playing a FaceBook game*!
The surefire cure for FaceBook fear? PJM Online looks even better than on the PS3 and has all the shrewdness of a Q-Games product.

Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 includes a Game-Key card and a 2-year expiring DLC code, raising concerns among physical game collectors.
Switch 2 really went from a ‘Day 1 Must Buy’ to a ‘Might pick one up some day in the future’, because of all the anti-consumer decisions Nintendo has made for their new console …
I think about lot of it had to do with the amount of piracy that is going on with the Switch. Its like they want the hackers to try and pull the ROMS from the system itself versus just dumping it from a physical media. It just sucks that it had come to this point. Nintendo will keep Nintendo-ing.
Modders are gonna hit the Switch 2 hard, and piracy is gonna be even higher on it than the first. That or 3rd party support will dry out sooner than later when enough people realize publishers don't wanna put in effort with physical releases on the system. People underestimate the casual consumer, when they feel screwed over they won't stick around like the fanboys. And with the astronomical prices of Switch 2 games I honestly can't see this succeed in the way Nintendo expects it to.
Kojima Productions' upcoming action-adventure game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, was originally planned as DLC for the first game.
Joining the list of other sequels that went through that same process like Dragon Age Exalted March becoming Dragon Age Inquisition. Or how Saints Row The Third : Enter the Dominatrix assets were incorporated then relaunched into Saints Row 4.
Square Enix has officially announced that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will launch worldwide on October 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series
TikiMan has a mega frown.
Interesting. I did love PJM/Eden on PS3. I'll probably be checking this out.
I don't own this game yet , is it worth getting?
