  • Summary: (Also known as "HOT PXL") Hot Pixel follows Djon, a skateboarder, through a loosely structured central storyline which is packed with challenges--in the form of some 200 minigames, which require players to draw on their reflexes and 2D gaming prowess. The various obstacles Djon must successfully negotiate include performing tricks on a BMX bike, stagediving at a punk-rock show, playing an in-game video game, and just trying to cross a busy digital street. HOT PXL's minigame library can be updated with downloads via the PSP's wireless Internet functionality.… Expand

    Lots of critical hate for this game; a little harsh, in my opinion. Yes, it's a Wario Ware ripoff, but how many Wii games are, too? It's also a little cheesy and repetitive, but I was still moved to play through it, and download the 70 free games online. PSP needed a game like this, and I think Hot PXL did a decent job.… Expand
