Eric G of PSNStores writes: It’s been a bit since we’ve heard any news on Cubixx HD, but that will all come to a rest in short time. On August 17th, Laughing Jackal’s first PS3 game will be released on the EU PSN (SCEA date to be confirmed). It’ll run you $9.99 in the US and £6.29 in the UK, with a 20% discount for PlayStation Plus subscribers for the first week. Check out this trailer and its fun music:
Years ago, Qix was a neat puzzle game. You were on a 2D level where you had to cut out the environment while avoiding enemies. Then, years later Cubixx was released as a PSP Mini, a title that could be played on both the PSP and PS3. Cubixx was so successful that the developers were able to remake the title on the PS3 as Cubixx HD. Now, the title has been ported to Steam and it mostly holds up, but players may find the release somewhat unneeded.
A PS3 remaster of a PSP Mini makes its way to Steam with surprisingly few changes. However, whether or not that is a bad thing remains to be seen.
