PSN/Live Arcade/Wiiware games

[bw38]

If you're an owner of the opposite system, I'm referring to PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii games that you can download on their respective online networks. What games have you played from these services that just hook you?

IGN listed the following exclusive PSN games (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/999/999336p1.html):
10. Crash Commando
9. Lumines Supernova
8. Comet Crash
7. Echochrome
6. The Last Guy
5. Cuboid
4. PixelJunk Monsters
3. Super Stardust HD
2. WipEout HD
1. Flower

I myself have played PixelJunk Monsters and must say it's really addicting. I have yet to try out the others due to lack of time. Any PS3 owner should try these out though.

Other titles that I've heard are good which may or may not be exclusive are:
Braid - Xbox 360 exclusive (available on PC too)
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - 360/PS3, not sure about Wii
Geometry Wars - Xbox 360 exclusive
Zuma - Xbox 360, not sure of other systems
Castle Crashers - Xbox 360 exclusive, I believe

This site lists the following for Xbox 360 Live exclusives:

10. Angry Barry
9. Lights End
8. Super Cow
7. A Bomb's Way
6. Arkx
5. A Robot's Conundrum
4. Carnivale Showtime
3. Artoon
2. Clover
1. Weapon of Choice

I've played the Wii about two times and don't know of any games, but feel free to share them if you want.

My favorite PSN games are:

1-Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty: Short game, but the graphics, story, and especially the gameplay are really great. Well worth the download if your a fan of Ratchet & Clank!

2-Pain: The first game I ever played on the PSN. I got a free code to download it when I bought my PS3 and I have never regretted downloading it. A lot of people knock this game, but I like it. Sure, its not the greatest game ever invented (or even a great game. it is good though), but its a fun, wacky, silly, stupid, and a fun game. Its had a lot of cool dlc too!

3-Bejeweled: I know this isn't exclusive, but I really like this puzzle game. Glad I bought it.

4. Echochrome: Such a cool concept and neat gameplay.

I don't have an Xbox 360, but I use to awhile back. When I had it, I liked:

1-Geometry Wars: There is a verison for the Wii (haven't played it), but it was on the 360 first. Fun game.

As for Wiiware, these are my favorite Wiiware games:

1-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King: A simple, yet addictive game for Wiiware. Very nice graphics, addictive gameplay, and interesting storyline. Square has a nice downloadable game here!

2-LostWinds: Wow. Stunning graphics for Wiiware, really fun platforming gameplay, and just a cool game overall. Its a short game and it can be challenging in places, but its well worth the download imo!

3-Tetris Party: Its Tetris! Nuff' said!

4-Dr. Mario: I have always found Dr. Mario addictive and this is the best verison yet.

5-LIT: This horror/puzzle game has nice, moody graphics and very challenging puzzles. While there is not very much story, that doesn't matter. The creepy atmosphere and the puzzles make this a cool game. One of Wiiware's best.

Also, highly recommended for Wiiware: World of Goo (wacky graphics/neat gameplay), Toki Tori (good graphics, cool puzzles)

And I liked Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1, even though it has some frame-rate issues and locked up on me a couple of times. The story, graphics, and gameplay are good though. Hopefully the next installments have a better frame-rate and no lock-up issues.

I think, at the moment, I'm looking forward to more Wiiware games then PSN games. Cave Story is a big game I can't wait to play on Wiiware! I'm also hoping the next installments of Tales of Monkey Island will be cool. And there other interesting games on the horizon for Wiiware!

As far as the PSN goes, I'm looking forward to more classic PS1 games, like Resident Evil 2, Dino Crisis, and (I hope) Legend of Dragoon being released!

Sell me on Flower. I keep reading reviews and everyone is like OMG it's so good. And I'm just... I mean... it sounds okay...

My PSN....

PixelJunk Monsters
PixelJunk Eden
Burn Zombie Burn
Super Stardust HD
Mortal Kombat II
Wipeout HD
Calling All Cars
Rag Doll Kung Fu
Crash Commando
Fat Princess
LocoRoco Cocoreccho
Echochrome

Happy with all of them. LocoRoco is probably the weakest, but I just find it amusing for whatever reason. My main complaint with Echochrome was that I hated the music, but now you can use custom soundtracks. Rag Doll Kung Fu you need live bodies to play with, but is otherwise really fun.

Will definitely be getting Castle Crashers for PSN when it comes out, definitely also MVC2, and mostly likely either Military Madness or Under Siege depending on what I hear up til then and when they come out respectively.
