The lucky winner, picked from a hat of about 8 other people who voted for the same name, is Mario Paquet from Canada! We chose the name because: 1) its simple, 2) it describes the main thing you do in the game, and 3) it makes a great logo!
The other runner-up names were:
PixelJunk Depths - Thomas Ella
PixelJunk Atlantis - Takuhiro Hara
PixelJunk Caves - Chi Lo
PixelJunk Blaster - Edward Stumpfel
PixelJunk S.O.S! - Derrick Kross
The most popular name suggested by a long shot was PixelJunk Elements, but we decided that it didnt capture the shooting side of the game well enough and at the worst people might think it was a game about the weather.
Depths almost became the chosen name but our producer at Sony Santa Monica, Deborah Mars, sounded like she had a lisp when she said it, so we dropped that one early on. We needed to choose a name everyone can enunciate. ;-)
If you manage to get into E3 next week youll be able to play a newer demo than the one shown in the video which has a number of cool new things in it including co-op play!

Watercolor > Shooter. It's a pretty terrible name.
Hah! Yeah and they could rename Pixeljunk Racers to... to... uh.SecretBonusPoint said:Patches to rename their previous titles to PixelJunk Tower Defense and PixelJunk Plant-Based-Platformer on their way!
SecretBonusPoint said:Thats the fucking worst name out of all of them. Thats awful.
Why even bother having the contest if theyre going to settle for something utterly shit like "Shooter". Might as well have just called it PixelJunk Game.

Monsters. Eden isn't bad either, so just go with whatever.Keikoku said:So what is the best pixeljunk game ? I'm thinking about picking up Eden.

Monster is awesome!!!!! Better than racers IMOHaunted said:Eden > Racers > Monsters
They all have demos, download them all since your opinion's going to be the best for you. I personally didn't like Racers or Eden, but I liked Monsters (not enough to buy it since I have other TD games to play). Other people's opinions are wildly different, though.Keikoku said:So what is the best pixeljunk game ? I'm thinking about picking up Eden.

You know what else features the same "gamesplay element"? Killzone 2, Gears of War, Uncharted, and Megaman. None of them are called "Shooter" because that name is asinine.EktorPR said:Am I the only one happy with the name choice?
It's simple.
It states the main gameplay element of the game.
The logo makes it look as it has a deeper meaning to it...or maybe it's only me. :lol

Monsters is one of the worst fucking games I've ever played.Blu_LED said:Fuck no. Don't blatantly lie to this poor man.
Eden and Monsters are amazing games. Racers....not so much. There is a demo for Racers and Eden, not sure about Monsters though. Give them a spin.
Yes, you are the only one. The name is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.EktorPR said:Am I the only one happy with the name choice?
