Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

I've played this game for the better part of 20 hours. Maybe more. I think PixelJunk Monsters is exactly the kind of game that folks perceive as casual, but its depth is immense, despite only having to build towers.
Do I spend gems to upgrade my towers?
Or do I buy a sweet-ass flamethrower instead?
Some of the levels border on insanity in the difficulty department, but it's still an insane amount of fun. Local co-op limits multiplayer, but god dammit if it's not some of the best co-op on the PlayStation. I'll be gunnin' for your high scores, Riley!
