On October 30 North America will be getting their dosage of ‘PixelJunk Monsters’ and ‘PixelJunk Monsters Encore’ Trophies and Updates.

We’re very excited here in the very low lit facilities at Kezins Tower over the release date of PixelJunk Monsters Updates.  After a successful upgrade to the 320gb sata hard drive, and neglecting to export your save data makes this the perfect tim to play PixelJunk Monsters all over again! uhh, What’s that?  Trophies will be somewhat retroactive… umm..
Game Difficulty settings
You can now choose between three different difficulties of gameplay! There is a Casual mode, the Regular/Ranked mode, and Hard-core mode. The great news here is that you can use any combination of difficulties to complete your progress through the islands! Is there one particular map that’s too hard? Try it in Casual mode. If you Rainbow the level, that rainbow counts and will remain on the map no matter what difficulty the other rainbows were achieved at! Only the Regular difficulty will register on the ranking boards, though.

For 5 hours the PlayStation Network will be down today beginning at 2PM EDT - 7PM EDT.

So, it looks like we are gearing up for tomorrow’s PlayStation Firmware update with a shutdown of the PSN today.  What will we see?  Just your normal “There’s nothing to see here” banner.  So don’t expect to increase your Pixel Junk Eden score online.

Atari has sent us word that a contest is currently underway on their official Alone in the Dark site, www.centraldark.com. Now, while the prizes seem to be cool enough — 4 tickets for Paris or New York and some games — it really is just a clever marketing ploy to promote the game.

Regardless, to participate all you need to do is start a group where you pass a “torch” to all your friends and, in turn, they “keep the fire burning” onto others. Seems like fun, but also might take some work as the “torch” needs to be passed every 24 hours.

If your up for it, hit up the official site and get that fire burning. Alone in the Dark is developed by Eden Games and is due June 24 for Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PS2 with a PS3 version dropping by the end of the year.
