#16: PixelJunk Monsters
Why It's Great: This quirky "tower defense" game first appeared on the PlayStation Network with a few raised eyebrows. Don't let the cartoonish art style of PixelJunk Monsters fool you, though - beneath the unique and innovative hand drawn art laid an extremely addictive real-time strategy game that to this day, still has us going back to research, build, and upgrade our bases.

#15: Everyday Shooter
Why It's Great: All three consoles' game-download services are packed to the rafters with shoot-em-ups, to the point where many great games get lost in the glut. If you've got a PS3, we implore you to not let that happen to Everyday Shooter. Part shmup, part rhythm game, part puzzle game, Everyday Shooter is an amazingly unique and distinctly stylish title that should be one of the first PlayStation Network downloads you make.

#14: Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
Why It's Great: When you take into account the fact this racing sim's intensity, stellar graphics and amazing gameplay, you might just start wishing more games would have Prologues before the final release. In Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, you can drive any of over 50 customizable cars from various worldwide manufacturers, including famed car companies Audi, Ford and Ferrari. Also, GT Online returns via the PS3's PlayStation Network, so with the console's built in wi-fi adapter, you can challenge your friends anywhere, any time!
#13: Warhawk
Why It's Great: Players world-wide were skeptical about the Playstation 3's SixAxis controller and what it was capable of, and upon the release of aerial combat simulation WarHawk, the white-knuckled dog-fights and adrenaline-pumping action more than wiped out their fears. Once you've blazed through the skies with the task of protecting your nation from the oncoming Chernovan hordes, gatling guns blazing, there's no going back to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
#12: Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online
Why It's Great: As a series, Tekken has had its ups and downs. But Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online is the pinnacle edition of Namco's fighter- it's the definitive version of the classic fighter available as an inexpensive PSN download. The massive 30+ character roster features a mix of characters old (Eddy Gordo, Marshall Law) and new (zombie/Communist Sergei Dragunov, the noob-friendly Lili). The 1080-enabled graphics look sharp, but where Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection really shines is in its new Online mode, which features a sleek matchmaking interface and a large community of active players. Tekken 6 and Street Fighter IV are months away; for the moment, Tekken 5: DR Online reigns supreme as the king of the PlayStation 3 fighters.

#11: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition
Why It's Great: "Massive" isn't a big enough word for the fourth incarnation in the popular Elder Scrolls role-playing series. As you traversed the world of Cyrodil, you could truly create a life of your own - mine caverns, learn trade skills, fight bandits... the scope alone of what's possible in Oblivion is simply astonishing, and this amazing adventure is still unprecedented in both size and scale.

#10: Super Stardust HD
Why It's Great: Possibly the most compulsively playable title on Sony's PSN store, Super Stardust HD has much in common with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on Xbox Live Arcade. Super Stardust HD is a top-down shooter where players twiddle both analog sticks to annihilate overwhelming swarms of enemies. But Super Stardust HD is even more intense than Geometry Wars, as players must destroy gigantic meteors, comets, and other galactic detritus in order to score big points and power-ups. Unlike Geometry Wars, you'll have access to three different weapons (a Rock Crusher for rock asteroids, an Ice Splitter for ice asteroids, and a Gold Melter for Gold asteroids). Thanks to several expansion packs, Super Stardust HD has more modes, more multiplayer, and a more epic feel than Geometry Wars. If you haven't experienced this game, download it immediately!

#9: Assassin's Creed
Why It's Great: Ubisoft knows awesome stealth (Splinter Cell). The company also knows amazing acrobatics (Prince of Persia). Thankfully, that chocolate and peanut butter mixed together to make the delicious Assassin's Creed. With crazy parkour moves and devastating attacks, Altair has become one of gaming's most revered heroes in quite some time. We can't wait to see who he kills next.
