GOONL!NE: "PixelJunk Eden is one of the finest games to be released from the PlayStation Store to date on the PS3. It's simple, innovitive and relaxing. Have a fiver to spend? Spend it on Eden, you wont regret it."
Where do new game design ideas come from? It's the kind of question that might come to mind playing PixelJunk Eden or Noby Noby Boy for the first time. Here, game creators from both titles voice their perspectives on the subject of creativity in the video game industry.
This discussion between the two creators offers various insights into their views on what matters most to creating enjoyment through game design.
I enjoyed this interview very much. It brings many questions that I commonly ask myself when it comes to the current state of our industry.

Better known with in the games industry as the man behind the music and visuals in a game succinctly known for it's unique audiovisual style, Pixeljunk Eden. We find out about cut features of Eden, what Baiyon would love to move onto and the possibility of a second encore expansion for Eden.
Q-Games is a small Kyoto, Japan based company that has come a long way since its first release of PixelJunk Racers. Since then they have released two more installations in the series: Monsters and Eden. Because of the continued success of these titles, the developers have continued to support these titles by releasing expansions.
I've never thought about a PSN title as a "Day 1" purchase. I will always be exited to see a new pjGame.
Although it wasn't a day 1 purchase for me, (since i didn't know what it was, and wasn't familiar with the quality this studio puts out) i played eden to death. Got all the spectras and all the trophies. Definitely gets harder and more interesting towards the end!! SSHD was day 1 for me tho. Don't regret it. Love PSN titles. Great quality.
A fiver, huh? How a bout 2 of them? Not only that, the game isn't even worth a fiver. This game is also far from relaxing as everyone, or near everyone, is complaining about the tedious, frustrating nature of not being able to shoot a web when you want to and or have an attack to fend off cheap enemies that knock you back down to the bottom of the map or across the level at will.
This game is far from relaxing and it's far from a 9 and it's far, far, far, far, far away from being the best PSN game on the network. This review is full of $#*T!
It is challenging and fun. The demo is perfect. :)
Game......I am impress by PSN games...I played the demo a few days ago and was very impressed..
