Sony has marked down a handful of titles on the PlayStation Store this week for a limited time.  There's a few co-op games to speak of - namely FLOCK! and Pixel Junk Eden.

 Here's the full list: 

• WipEout HD (was $19.99, now $14.99!)
• Flock! (was $14.99, now $7.49!)
• Savage Moon (was $9.99, now $4.99!)
• Crash Commando (was $9.99, $4.99!)
• PixelJunk Eden (was $9.99, now $4.99!)
• Brain Challenge (was $9.99, now $4.99!)
• 3 on 3 NHL Arcade (was $9.99, now $4.99!)

I recommend checking out WipEout HD.  It's a beautiful title on the system and a ton of fun.

Pixeljunk, a name in innovation and original content is bringing us something original, and innovative. Out of this latest Pixeljunk news, we get Pixeljunk Shooter, a co-op side-scrolling shooter that we can't narrow down to a type of game to compare it to. You are a ship of sorts, changing an environment by shooting rocks to blend lava and water together to make usable terrain, while saving miners stuck in these underground caverns. Given a certain quota of miners to save in each level, it's a good idea not to drown or boil them to death.

PixelJunk has been a busy topic lately, what with the announcement of PixelJunk Shooter for the Playstation Network, and now the PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe game will be coming to the PSP while sporting useful online co-op. Not quite a port, but not quite an original title, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe on the PSP will give players 4 player online co-op through a lobby system new to the PSP. Many may remember how the original only had local co-op, so this is already a nice change.

The above screenshot doesn't do Pixel Junk Shooter any justice, but the below video I'd say gives you a better idea of just how beautiful the game is.  The latest in the Pixel Junk series from Q Games, Shooter tasks players with exploring underground caverns filled with lava, water, and dangerous enemies.  

The game is going to support two players in co-op when it ships this fall.  The co-op mode is detailed over at the PlayStation Blog, and it sounds like it's going to be a ton of fun.

Pixel Junk Monsters on the PSN was a solid co-op tower defense game.  Now Sony and the Pixel Junk team are bringing the game on the road in Pixel Junk Monsters Deluxe for the PSP.

The portable game will add ten new stages to the mix as well as new enemies, music tracks and special bonus features.  It even includes the Pixel Junk Monsters Encore DLC pack.  Look for the full game to be released sometime this fall.

The Pixel Junk team has announced their next PlayStation Network game, one that was previously named Pixel Junk 1-4, has gotten a name and will be getting an upcoming demo.  After taking fan entries, and receiving almost 10,000 of them, the official name of the game is Pixel Junk Shooter.  

The previous Pixel Junk games, including Monsters and Eden, are no strangers to co-op.  So it's with great delight that we can announce that Shooter will continue the tradition offering co-op play!

A bit of good news for everyone who liked the idea of PixelJunk Eden, but found the controls and camera a bit unnerving.
 

The team at Q are still keeping the details of the expansion close to their chests, but Cuthbert did reveal what's in store for this week's patch. Aside from a fix for the game's multiplayer camera, most of the changes are geared toward making the game more accessible for casual gamers that can't quite get the knack of Eden's precision platforming... "I simply want as many people as possible to experience [PixelJunk Eden] in full," Cuthbert said of the patch, which should help struggling players do just that.

A patch that improves the co-op experience and makes the game more accessible for everyone? So… why aren’t more developers taking this approach?

Looking for some quick co-op games this long weekend?  PlayStation owners can snag a few co-op titles that are currently on sale on the PlayStation Network.

PixelJunk Eden is available for only $4.99 and features an offline 3 player co-op mode.  You can read our official review here.

Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is available for the same price of $4.99 and features both offline and online 3 player co-op modes.   Our official review of this is also available here.

Wow, that's odd.  Two 3 player co-op games.  Very rare!  Get it while the getting is good as this deal ends December 4th!

In similar PSN news, to celebrate Thanksgiving you can get yourself a Sackboy with a Turkey on it's head for free.   Enhance your Little Big Planet experience with poultry!

It's an expensive time of the year, for the co-op gamer.  Some premiere titles have just been or will shortly be released.  So, money can be tight, and any good deals are worth looking into.  One such good deal has been posted over at PS3News. 

PSN users who purchase PixelJunk's Eden between now and October 16 can download the expansion for another PixelJunk title, Monsters, for free.  So, for $10, you get a $16 value.  That's not too shabby, at all,  especially if you already have Pixel Junk Monsters and were looking to get the expansion, Monsters Encore. 

PixelJunk Eden is a bit hard to classify, but you can check out our review of it here.  It seems like one of those more abstract titles, with some truly hypnotic art design.  PixelJunk Monsters is a bit easier to describe: it's a Tower Defense game.  It is also ranked fairly well by our users, with 4.0 stars.  I know I'll be downloading both games to see if this deal is worthy of my increasingly scarce gaming dollars.

The "PixelJunk" series of titles that have come out on the PlayStation Network have all been truly unique titles.  From a slot car racer, to a different take on desktop tower defense, both Racers and Monsters were solid games; the latter even supporting co-op play.

The latest iteration in their series, named PixelJunk Eden, is a bit harder to describe.  It's sort of this life garden sim, meets Worms ninja rope game.  The best part of course is the ability to play with two of your buddies in 3 player co-op.  We give you the low down on the co-op mode, and whether or not it's a worthwhile addition to your collection.
