PixelJunk Monsters Online, the first entry in the PixelJunk franchise not to appear on PlayStation devices, is now in open beta on Facebook. Announced over the summer, PixelJunk Monsters Online is based on the PSN tower defense game, which has sold over 500,000 units. Now you can play it while waiting for TPS reports to collate.
PJO features the tower defense gameplay of the original along with a world map, and sees players defending their lands from waves of monsters. The objective is to collect gold and gems to expand territory and defend more tiles -- of course, your friends will be doing the same. That's when the fighting starts, followed by nasty Facebook messages, and eventually it culminates in a peace accord over buffalo wings at T.G.I. Fridays.

Isn't the PixelJunk series owned by Sony (Sony Computer Entertainment)? They're publishing Facebook games now? What's next? God of War, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Uncharted on Facebook?

I was under the same impression, but apparently not. The history of the company and individuals on the team is pretty unique:

They are still technically independent, but have been working predominantly with Sony for most of this generation.

The PSN game was pretty darn entertaining. I really appreciated the 2 player mode.

I guess you could get wings at Fridays ... if there are no other options. Buffalo Wild Wings? Quaker Steak and Lube? Dare I say it ... Anchor Bar!
Looks intriguing, I wish there was more info, I'm not sure I'm ready for the brave new world of spamming my friends if this game sucks cowlicker's ass.
