This game looks awesome. That's really all I have to say, because the trailer speaks for itself:

Hmmm. Have you played any of the other pixeljunk games? I can't seem to get the hang of Eden.

Hahaha, an Xbot after my own heart...

There was a free XBLA game called "Undertow" that had similar game play:

Eden looks like one of those artsy-fartsy games that I don't "get". Like LocoRoco.

They have a tower defense game which looked good, but there are a billion other TD games. They also have a "racing" game with a demo that's fun for about as long as the demo lasts. This one looks like it has many more possibilities.

I really like these games that are simple in concept, but open-ended in possibility. It's a bit like a Mario game. The basics are just running and jumping, but there's so much you can do with it if you have good level designers.

I couldn't get into undertow. Controlling my character was a pain in the ass so I gave up. I like Braid but that got stupid hard in later levels.
