James: I have looked at Q Games' excellent series of PixelJunk games for the Playstation Network with great interest, but Shooter just grabbed me and wouldn't let go until I completed it 100%. From the simple, slightly retro yet very stylish artwork, to, again, the simple yet very tight controls this game is pretty much perfect for me. Finding out how the different elements react to each other, trying your hardest to rescue, not accidentally kill, the miners and the fantastic and beautifully designed bosses, this game just gets everything right. I particularly love how it tells you how to control your craft but after that leaves you to figure things out for yourself. As new elements and ships are introduced I had a lot of fun just playing around to learn how they interacted. I love it when playing the game teaches you how it works, as opposed to having to follow a tutorial first. If anything, the one major failing this game has is that it's too short. But to be honest, if the game had 1000 levels I'd still think it was too short.

Paul: I had awesome fun with this game in 2 player. When one guy dies you can grab his dying ship and bring him to water! really loved some of the liquid physics as well. Looking forward to the next in the series!
