Gardening, without the allegies...

PixelJunk has come up with so fairly interesting concepts but none even compare to Eden. Eden has a very unique art style with vivid colours and a protagonist that would feel completely odd in any other game. The GRIMP as it is called is a very acrobatic creature equiped with a swinging tool called it's silk. The Grimp is out to destroy enemies by hitting the with his/her body (gender unknown) and then collect the remnants (pollen). This pollen is used to help seeds grow which allow the player to scale higher to gather the Spectras. These items are what make Eden grow, which happens to be the stage select screen. If you enjoy scaling upwards, using momentum and timing to your advantage you should try this game, and the immediately after you will be hooked. No need to play alone either, you may add multiple Grimps to the fun and work on your teamwork with a friend or two. The best part of this game is that you will have hours of fun and at the current price of $9.99, that is the deal of the week. The final hook is the ability to start collecting a few more trophies for your PSN. Go get it, worry about the bills later...
