"Today marks the 3rd and final day of our GDC PlayStation.Blog.Lounge, and we're very happy to welcome Q-Games President Dylan Cuthbert into the fold. Chances are you've already already played one of his company's titles, PixelJunk Eden, Monsters, or Racers (and read about the upcoming Eden Encore). But who are the people that make such innovative games? And why don't they wear shoes when they work? Take the tour..."

CVG reports: "Q-Games president and executive producer, Dylan Cuthbert, reckons 2009 is going to be a great year for PSN gaming. Why? Because there'll be "two or three" more PixelJunk games coming, that's why.

Q-Games earned a name for itself with PixelJunk Monsters, which is still one of our PSN favourites, and PixelJunt Eden is pretty funky too. And there's plenty more to come this year."

PS3Trophies.co.uk has just gotten another trophy list, this time for PixelJunk Monsters and Encore.

There's 19 trophies in all, 14 from PixelJunk Monsters, while the expansion adds another 5 trophies for you to earn. And they're fairly interesting trophies too, not your standard.

PS3Fanboy writes, "Finding the PixelJunk games frustratingly difficult? You are not alone; the guys over at TheBBPS wrote an open e-mail to Dylan Cuthbert, executive producer at Q-games, humorously complaining that his wife finds PixelJunk Monsters just a tad bit too overwhelming and requests difficulty settings for the game. Cuthbert acknowledges his prayers, stating that an upcoming free patch to Monsters will include the ability to make the game easier, or harder, than the default setting.

Cuthbert also hints a similar treatment in form of a new "more namby pamby" gameplay mode for PixelJunk Eden in a future expansion pack. He feels Eden's "controls are too much fun to waste on just one set of game rules." We can't wait!"

Buried deep down on a PlayStation Blog post about PixelJunk Eden and the Trophies available in the game, is an odd little paragraph about possible Trophy support for PixelJunk Monsters. Dylan Cuthbert, president of Q-games, developers of PJM and PJE, mentions he's been "inundated" with requests for Trophy support in Monsters. He says the company is looking into it and will badger the game's producer at Sony, Deborah Mars, "to get some dates set."

The information is a bit ambiguous and we're guessing is designed as a tease for an incoming PJM patch. Cuthbert also says the patch will "implement XMB music and a couple of other things." Considering we know PlayStation Blog posts are "checked," information like this doesn't just slip by. Looks like we're going to have to stop playing PJM Encore and wait 'til that Trophy patch gets added, because we're guessing the achievements won't be applied retroactively.

Yes, [Q-Games is] definitely considering a patch for this and including trophy support amongst other things.

I just received an email from Q Games saying:

"In theory the US and Canadian residents amongst you should only have a few more days to wait until Encore can be in your hands. I'd like to point out that the Encore pack will only work with the original Monsters from the same territory you bought it from, so you can't, say, buy the US version of Encore to upgrade your EU-Store-bought Monsters. (or vice versa - and the same goes for the Japanese version) As I have mentioned before Europe and the other territories under SCEE's banner took another couple of weeks to prepare so if everything goes to plan they should be only a couple of weeks away. However, the real reason for sending this newsletter today is to explain some of the new strategies to be had in Encore. With the Ice tower now costing zero gems and the Tesla tower costing less, you should try and work out how to use these two towers. If you play with your old strategies Encore will seem quite tough, but if you learn how to place the Teslas and upgrade the Ice towers you'll begin to see another side to the strategy not a lot of people tried before. On one of the stages all the enemies move at twice the speed and as you can imagine the Ice tower is quite useful there! Also, as a special hint, if you're having trouble on a particular stage, try the Hive! Also, in other news, we have heard that perhaps a video of the latest version of PixelJunk Eden will be shown at today's Playstation Day in London. Nothing is totally confirmed though so we'll just have to wait and see. Regards Dylan "

If you own a PS3 and haven't downloaded PixelJunk Monsters, you're currently failing in life. It's awesome, and the 'Encore' expansion pack will be extending the fun in May. Q-Games' expansion will give players a whole new island, Toki Island, containing 15 more inevitably infuriating levels to complete (doesn't this game make you angry, too?). Check out one of the levels ... » Read More
