XBLA: A Look At Axel & Pixel

Axel & Pixel was revealed just a few weeks ago, and while the official website gave us a little bit of insight into the gameplay we weren't that sure what we were up for.

Now with the new trailer we're now seeing what sort of puzzles you'll be up against - connecting pipes, building Tetris pyramids, using a golf ball air balloon and driving a monster truck - a large variety of things to figure out and conquer.

The best part seems that it's just so darn charming, watching Axel and his dog Pixel jump around talking simlish and being just as fascinated with the world as the player is. There's nothing like it on XBLA, PSN or WiiWare - and that's just enough of a reason to check it out.

The game's set to be released on October 14th, so it's not too long before we get our hands on it.
