I hate how people just throw out 9's like this. 6 or 7 should be average and that's what this is.

mushroomwig4377d ago

Or you could just allow these websites to express their own opinion? 6-7 is your opinion, clearly others have their own.

Trenta274377d ago

No. It's more like the video game industry is messed up. 9 should be damn near flawless, which this certainly isn't. I can say the same for other games out there as well. 9 became the new average. We might as well increase it up to 15.

smashcrashbash4377d ago

You have the nerve to be telling the people who own the website what score they should give the game? You can disagree with it if you want but they played it and gave their opinion. You may have thought it was average but they didn't. A score is not a command to buy the game it is a guide line so you can make a decision

kingPoS4377d ago

It's not really a game in the purest sense. Think of as an interactive twitter like music app, take it or leave it.

I think I should try out the demo... I really have not liked this game yet from what I've seen and from what I've played in the beta.

ginsunuva4377d ago

It's not really a demo; it's a live viewer for you to watch others' performances live

Y_51504377d ago

Well then that's how the beta was. I will not get it until i get the Move I guess...

Makasu4377d ago

Yep! EU 15.05.12, US 15.05.12

Knushwood Butt4377d ago

Cool. Hopefully the JPN PSN gets it this week then.

PirateThom4377d ago

As long as you are aware it's not a game but an application and you like electronic music, it's definitely worth a go. My initial impressions I wrote on here stand true even after returning to it a few times.

PirateThom4377d ago

Yes, but there's no high score or goal as such, it's all about taking loops and one shots and creating unique songs and performing them live.

Underrated: Q-Games is a PixelJunk load of awesome

PSU takes a look at game developers that brought us great games this console generation, but didn't get the attention they deserved.

itBourne4007d ago

Q-Games is awesome. I want a Monsters 2!

mandf4007d ago

I want it bad too. I played the ps3 version first then the psp 2nd. The psp version is better with with more content. I love that game.

mondofish4007d ago

Postmortem: Q-Games' Pixeljunk 4am

GamaSutra - At the end of 2010, right after finishing PixelJunk Shooter 2, Q-Games president and founder Dylan Cuthbert pulls me aside for a chat.

"So we've kind of got this music visualizer using the PlayStation Move called lifelike on the back burner," he says. "You should make it happen."

I asked for some more details about the project. "Well, there's music," Dylan said, "And there's a PlayStation Move. Off you go."

PixelJunk 4am released in spring 2012 on PSN. It's not so much a game in the strictest sense of the word -- it's a Move-exclusive audiovisual composer, where all your performances are broadcast live around the world on PSN.
