PlayStation Network has been churning out amazing after amazing downloadable games for everyone to enjoy ever since the network launched in ‘06. These games don’t just make themselves…there are hard working indie developers that through creative minds and passion for innovative gaming sculpt these games into the gems you see on PSN today.
One of these indie developers and my personal favourite are the PixelJunk team from Japan, Q-Games. These guys have made three of the most popular games ever to hit the PlayStation Store, and the names of these games are easily recognised…PIXELJUNK!
From fast paced Racers, to tower defense Monsters and to the soothing Eden, Q-Games has created some of the best downloaded games I have ever played, and based on feedback from personal friends and comments on the internet, these games are favourites among many.
Just recently PixelJunk Monsters was reborn as a new title for the PSP system, but as for a totally new inventive game, nothing new since PixelJunk Eden in 2008. This month though, Q-Games is bringing forth another immersive title that aims to capture those idle funds from your PSN Wallet.
PixelJunk Shooter, announced earlier this year is almost out the door and the hype is increasing as the developer has taken alot of time to make this game as best as they could. In PixelJunk Shooter, the player pilots a subterranean vehicle that navigates through diverse cave-like complexes that are dynamic and o so visual. The goal of the game is getting through these detailed environments (water,magma,earth etc.) by manipulating the environment. There are also survivors in these environments that are to be rescued.
Enough talking for now and lets let the video speak for itself:
Reviews have already begun surfacing and they for the most part hold high praise for this new title.
The developer also has high hopes for this game and they have hosted a facebook group for some time now with the intention of becoming the first Million game seller on PSN. Its a very very steep figure to aim for as the digital download era is still fairly new, but we can all contribute to give Q-Games and the PixelJunk series the success it deserves.
PSNTT look forward to PixelJunk Shooter to be hitting the PlayStation Store (PS3) on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
A good few members joined up together in Playstation Home yesterday over a 3hour period.
We hung out for a while at my apartment, then afterwards proceeded to the Bowling Alley, for you guessed it, “Bowling”, and there were pool tables also 
. So lots of fun, lots of chat, lots of thrash talk about who sucks and who can and can’t play bowling in real life.
We then took a trip to Central Plaza and met up with some other folks. While we were there we all observed the floating PSP Go in the plaza and admired its beauty. Afterwards we headed back to the bowling alley for some more games then eventually travelled to the Uncharted 2 Village for some treasure hunting fun.
At about 9:30pm (from 6pm) the lime adjourned. It was really nice chatting with you all personally, and well the lime was good!

Not bad for a spontaneous event. Hopefully in future we can have much larger numbers.
See pics from the event after the jump!
Most members would have gotten 3 emails about the Playstation Home Lime.
An error in the system caused this to happen and we’re really sorry about it!
Playstation Home is an integral part of PS3 and its quite underused amongst the local community, I can also see why. It is boring at times and just a gimmick you check out once in a while. (Though things have durastically changed since the 1.3 update.)
You know what can change this though? Trinis bussing a lime in Home.
So I propose a nice get together in home.
You all are invited to my Penthouse Suite, and we could get to know each other alot better. From there on we can all travel to the different Game Spaces in Home and simply have a good time.
Start by adding me, “The_Apprentice” and we’ll organise a nice lime in Home.
I’d like to have one as early as tonight but we’ll see how it goes. (Sunday 8th November at 6pm)
At the end of the day, the goal is to have a nice tight knit local community for gaming on PS3.
So please visit the forum thread:

and post what time you think would be best for this lime and lets get this rolling.
Tenchu 2 Custom Missions
Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins may be a very old game to nearly all gamers today, but to me, this is a classic game that I won’t ever throw away. If the game’s magnificent storytelling didn’t keep you locked in for hours, then its in-game Mission Editor would most definitely do the trick.
In a similar fashion to the PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet, the game’s Mission Editor mode allows you to create your own scenario, environments, and enemy-paths and save the completed level to your PSone Memory Card. You can then ’share’ this file with others via the old transferring method of Memory Card to Memory Card.
Now, to the point. I have created 15 quality stages for the game together with 12 Boss Battle missions and I have placed all these missions as files on my site: Seiryuki’s Creations. While it may be easy to download the missions, transferring them to play from a USB drive depends on what system you would be playing the game on and what method of transfer you would be using. You can find more information on transferring the saved files on my website.
I know that 2009 may be about 5 years too late to be sharing my missions for a PSone game, but hopefully this title would be released on the PSN sometime and maybe we can see a rebirth of the game’s user-generated content. But at least I’ve finally got my missions up for the rest of the world.
Questions or comments regarding the game or my missions can be posted on my website or on the PSNTT’s forums. And I hope to see some old-style Tenchu fans looking to revisit Tenchu 2 through my missions.
Here are some screenshots from a few of my stages (don’t mind the graphics ^_~):

Dissapointing news for all of us Trinis and Tobagonians. Yesterday PSNTT reported that Amazon.com was now taking purchases for Playstation Network goodies.
Historically Amazon.com has accepted all credit cards worldwide but it seems Sony has kept its trend and issued purchase restrictions on Playstation Store items.
In order to purchase from Amazon.com, you MUST have a Credit Card/Debit Card issued by a United States Bank to complete the purchase. Anxious Trinis trying to buy from Amazon.com in light of the news were greeted with the following message:
We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
So at current, the only methods for purchasing from Playstation Store are:
1.) Having a relative use their Credit Card and repaying them.
2.) Asking your Aunty from New York to buy you ah Cyard.
3.) Using an online option of buying PSN Cards such as www.MaximusCards.com
4.) Buying a PSN Prepaid Card at a local retailer (JK Entertainment, Gamez Plus etc..)
Note these options only apply if you have a “United States” PSN Account.
If your account is a Canadian one like mine, you’ll need to source the PSN Cards from, you guessed it, Canada.
Local retailers and many online “Code” sellers don’t stock Canadian PSN Cards at this time.
