A fair amount of time has passed since Hot Pixel was introduced to us at E3 06 by a self-proclaimed “street-smart cool cat” called Djon as a minigame compendium with style. Hot Pixel’s style draws from the world of video games, graffiti, and urban sports, and if you have an interest in any of the above then you’re bound to fall in love with its aesthetic. Progression through Hot Pixel is pretty much identical to that in Wario Ware, but Hot Pixel also offers bonus points for performing at speed and not making mistakes. Each level in Hot Pixel is preceded and ended with a different video of Djon in action, with the ending changing depending on whether you win or lose on the level. Hot Pixel has some nice ideas, a cool visual style, and an infectious enthusiasm that runs through the entire game. The minigame genre has been pretty much monopolised by Wario Ware, but Hot Pixel is likely to find its own niche on the PSP. read more
