Bionic Commando is pretty good once you get used to the controls.

Last Man (the title is something along those lines): there's a demo on PSN. Check it out. The idea behind the game is novel and it's fun and simple to play. I'd recommend buying it for sure. Deathspank: It is fun, and it's 2 player coop. It's an adventure RPG kind of like zelda with leveling up and LOOTZ! It's a great game that satirizes the genre while the gameplay mechanics themselves are fun and simple. Flower: novel and entertaining. Every blade of grass and flower onscreen reacts to wind physics and the music and visuals are beautiful and relaxing. Superstardust HD is a must. Get the coop expansion for extra fun. Those are some of my favorites that come to mind even though I know they're still fairly well known. I have another tower defense game that isn't the pixeljunk one(on some alien planets warding off aliens) that I think is a lot more detailed and fun than pixeljunk monsters but I can't recall the name at the moment.

Revenge of the Wounded Dragons (like an HD version of Double Dragon, it rocks)

Planet Minigolf (awesome game with the same Play. Create. Share mentality of LBP)

topatoi (very good 2.5D platformer)

Critter Crunch (like a cross between Bejewled & Tetris, really awesome)

Magic Orbz (very addicting arkanoid type of game)

Savage Moon (tower defense game that looks like Starship Troopers)

The Last Guy (you play the role of a hero and have to go inside buildings in order for people to follow you and then escort them to a safe place away from monsters, very challenging but fun) all come to mind.

I like the arkanoid style "brick breaking" games of which I am currently playing 3 - Shatter, Hyperballoid and Magic Orbz - all good in their own right :D

*rolleyes* at the people recommending full retail disc games when the guy asked for PSN gems... Anyhow. If you have PlayStation Plus or the most recent episode of Qore, grab the TerRover demo. I freaking LOVE that game. It's by Creat, but it looks and feels a lot like a PixelJunk game. The controls will probably take you a bit to get used to, but trust me, it gets much easier once you get the hang of the button layout and the idea of shifting weight. It's coming out next week in North America for $14.99, which I will gladly pay, but I wish it was only $9.99. It seems like most people think $9.99 is the sweet spot, and I agree. But I'm fine paying more if it's a game I am convinced I'll love and play. Castle Crashers just came out for PS3, and it's really good. Astro Tripper is great fun, and challenging. It's a tad like Defender in some ways, but kinda hard to compare to anything else. Shatter is really really good if you like Breakout style games, but it has truly evolved the game. Trine is cool, too, and has a platinum trophy. Puzzle Quest is amazing, if you haven't played it on any system yet, get it. Peggle, too. Those are all the PSN games I think are at the top of my list (not counting the ones you said not to mention, of course). And I own a lot (90+).

WOOOPS. Completely missed the "PSN" in the title. My apologies for my eyes not being wary enough this late into the night.

I got this for five bucks and its really good little game. So much fun in splitscreen or even online. Lots of singleplayer challenges too. Then Comet Crash - one of the most interesting tower defense games for me (also with offense play and local multiplayer). Mushroom Wars - great strategy game. Lumines Supernova or some similar name - great music based game. Scott Pilgrim - I know this one probably is popualr enough but its a brilliant old school beat-em-up, lots of combos, great music, great leveling system. When you get to the first level after you level up a bit, enemies have no chance at all. There are more but I cant think of them now.

Soldner X 1 & 2, they are challenging though. Shank is pretty good too, by the demo. On the rain slick precipise of darkness Episode 1 is another good game.

Crash Team Racing. 4 player racing that IMO is way better than Mario Kart. Way better engine and a lot better level design. Plus, any big ramp you go off you can control the character where as in Mario Kart, you feel as if an invisible guy picks up your kart and puts it on the other side of the jump. Even gamespot gives CTR a better rating than mario kart.

I only have 2 PSN games (I prefer retail) but I can't recommend Wheel of Fortune enough. This game is so awesome. It's very simple with some neat puzzles. It's pretty much Hangman with trophies. :D

If you like pinball, this is a must have. There are some additional tables as a DLC for little money. Same studio developed Planet Minigolf too. That game has everything (great graphics, great physics, offline, online, editor, level sharing system) and is only 10 bucks.

Personally, I would say no. I bought the bundle myself but Soldner-X 2 is so much better that I never play the first one.

As for other great PSN games: Castle Crashers, Gunstar Heroes, Puzzle Quest, Flower, Bionic Commando, Super Stardust

I also think Bomberman and Tank Battles are fun but only for multiplayer.

Someone else actually mentioned it. It's "Savage Moon." It's a great tower defense game.
