OMG PixelJunk Monsters is so simple and so basic, I bet it doesn't even use 1/100th the power of ps3, but 15 mins into checking out the demo I realized I was hooked "Just one more time, wanna try to save them all"...

My wife and daughter (7) both yelling build a canon tower!, build a anti-air tower! and there i sat playing this silly little game for about 3 hrs chasing gems coins and running thru trees building towers.

This doesn't even LOOK like a game I would like, the download was almost INSTANT so I thought ok this must be really dumb, but I am hooked, I never did enter credit card info in to buy stuff but I think I might do it for this one.

For games like that are there ever actual DISC options or do i have to just download it?

Having never messed with the download stuff, how does it all work, i pay and download it saves the game to the hard drive then i just play it from the list of games? If somehow my 7 yr old (or me) erases it by accident or my ps3's hard drive dies oneday - can I get it back or do I have to repay for it?

Just never paid for a game I didn't physically get a disc for.

Yes if you accidently delete a PSN downloaded game, you can just download it again.

As for PixelJunk Mosters itself, join the club :)

I warn you though the game is so addictive it's easy to burn away a hour or two.

But no way to get a real "disc and case" version right?

Yeah I see myself wasting lots of time on this one, 3 hrs alone on the crippled demo, i want those other towers!

PJM is a defense of the tower type of game. I really like it for what it is, but I prefer the Starcraft or Warcraft 3 versions. If anyone here still plays wc3, the most popular tower defense is a map called "Green TD". I forgot the others that were popular....haven't played wc3 in years T_T

PJM is impossible not to love! It's simple yes, but addictive.

Pixel Junk is quickly rising to be a favorite developer of mine!
