15 Must-Play PSN Games For PS3

Rebecca Quintana of Vivid Gamer writes, "With PSN finally back up and gamers able to sync trophies, check out their friend list, and play online, not to mention watch HULU, VUDU, and Netflix again, gamers are basically waiting for one major feature to still be reinstated: the PlayStation Store. Sony has suggested the store will be back up by the end of the month, which gives us all plenty of time to decide what games we may still need to add to our virtual game libraries. To help you out, I’ve compiled a list of fifteen must-play PSN titles for the PS3."

i would have put dead nation on the list but the list looks pretty good. not sure if pac man is a must play but tales of monkey island, pixeljunk shooter and joe danger are def must owns imo

I started out with a list of probably 35-40 games and had to narrow it down from there, and I know feelings are kind of mixed on Dead Nation. I was hoping to pick games that generally had universal acclaim.

Obviously they have failed to play Pixeljunk Monsters and Wipeout. Two of the best games on Psn store.

[rrquinta]

Well PixelJunk Monsters is mentioned as an alternate since I went with PixelJunk Shooter and wanted to stick to one-game per developer as much as possible.

@ rrquinta

I'm bias about this since I have a 1000+ hrs in Pixeljunk Monsters. I'm trying to rank #1 in all the levels. Right now I rank 123 across all levels. I wish they would make another one. Nice article. It's nice break from all the normal smear and flamebait articles.

Flower is my favourite. Really good game

[theherp80]

nice list, good alt choices as well

I'm still surprised by how many people haven't played Siren but I'm glad it made the list. It's truly a game that I've only been able to play in short burst. It's exhausting to play and the tension in that game is WAY high.

[rrquinta]

Yeah, it is probably good it is episodic, because it is intense. I definitely (personally) find the Shibito some of the most terrifying game enemies ever.

[theherp80]

is that like a 3rd person view kind of game? i do like me some horror games but i find it hard to play through them. maybe if its a psn title i might be able to slowly work my way through it and not feel bad about paying $60 for a game that took me months to beat.

[himdeel]

Yep its a very good game but you buy it several chapters at at time. See gameplay here http://www.gametrailers.com...

No main spelunker love :'(

Fat Princess rocks....4 player drop in/out whether your online or not is awesome.

No Wipeout? No Ratchet & Clank:QFB?

And, by the way, a game that I really enjoyed but is highly underrated is an early PSN game called the Last Guy... if you haven't played it, give it a go. I believe that there is a demo for it.

some guys favorite games type article.

[rrquinta]

Actually, I decided not to do my favorite games, but rather those that were highly acclaimed, which you would know if you had bothered to read the article's intro.

[theherp80]

also the writer is female.....maybe read the article next time?

[Jamesmanguyperson]

Nice list! I have most of these games but definitely need to get Joe Danger and Siren when it's back up.

[TheLiztress]

Great list. A few of those titles are ones I really want to give a shot.

[beavis4play]

how does this woman NOT have dead nation or superstardust HD on the list?

[Quagmire]
