To celebrate Q Games' 10th Anniversary, the team behind the PixelJunk series of games are hosting a monster sale on the PlayStation Network.  You can snag PixelJunk Racers, PixelJunk Monsters, PixelJunk Shooter, and PixelJunk Eden for just $1 each.  More recent titles like PixelJunk Shooter 2 and PixelJunk SideScroller are also half off.

The PixelJunk franchises have usually skirted actual sequels for expansions or 'Encores'. PixelJunk Shooter 2 is a proper sequel to the fan favorite PixelJunk Shooter. Has the series taken a step forward, or is this just more of the same (pixel)junk? Find out in our Co-Op Review.

We've been aware for - some time now - that the development of a no-brainer sequel to the super fun PlayStation Network title PixelJunk Shooter is already under way. Today Sony offered up a bubbly new logo, two screenshots, and a hint at more forthcoming details.

Q Game's Pixel Junk Shooter was released last year on the PlayStation Network, and by most accounts, it was pretty damn good.  We would have liked to see some more co-op specific puzzles, but overall it was a beautiful and addicting game.  G4TV talked with Q Games Founder Dylan Cuthbert about the sequel.

If there’s anything you can say about Q Games’ PixelJunk series of games, it’s that they exemplify gameplay mechanics in their purest form. The latest entry, PixelJunk Shooter is no exception.

The rumors are true, as the PlayStation Blog has officially confirmed Q-Game's Pixel Junk Shooter will be released on December 10th on the PlayStation Network.  The two player local co-op game will cost $9.99 and feature slick 1080p visuals.

Rumor on the street is the next co-op Pixel Junk game is set to hit the PlayStation Network next week.  Pixel Junk Shooter is a mix of strategy and action as players descend through caverns filled with lava, water and rock to rescue trapped miners.  It's looks a bit like the classic game ChopLifter, except with absolutely stunning animations and visuals.

Game Name: PixelJunk Shooter
Co-Op: Yes
Co-Op Type: 2 player local co-op
Publisher/Developer: SCEA (publisher) / Q-Games (developer)
Release Date: Fall 2009

There's a new video from the San Diego Comic-Con show floor that shows Pixel Junk's next co-op creation called Pixel Junk Shooter.

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 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.
