Best of the PS3 Online store?

Anyone have recommendations for the PSN online store? I haven't been keeping up with the releases on the PS3 and I hopped on today and saw a shitload of stuff I'd never even heard of - Nucleus, some "art" games for $1.99 each, and several other things like a bowling game.

Currently I own SuperStardust HD, Pain, and Calling all Cars. Anything anyone else can heartily recommend? I've heard good things about Everyday Shooter, but that's about it.

    PixelJunk Monsters was released on PSN this week and it's fantastic. If you like Tower Defense games (Desktop Tower defense, the billions of Warcraft 3 tower defense mods..) you will probably enjoy it.

    There's a full english demo for it up on the japanese store, and right now it only costs 8 dollars.

    Wow, the Pixeljunk Monsters game is awesome, thanks for the recommendation. I never got into Tower D in the WC3 days, but that's awesome.

    Best thing I have purchased of psn store so far. Next to Geo Wars, which still owns my soul, this is best downloadable purchase I have made this generation.

    Anybody buy Toy Home? I quite enjoyed the demo and wondered if the full version is worth the ten bones. In a crazy kind of way it reminds me of Carmageddon.

    I purchased Super Stardust HD. Quite fun, I think I like it better than Geo Wars.

    Isn't that a camera game though? If so :v:

    Another vote for Everyday Shooter. I also really enjoyed Flow and Super Stardust.

    edit: Don't forget about the PS1 classics on the store, though there's not a ton of great stuff up yet you may find something you used to enjoy.

    Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix was really fun for awhile at my place when I had friends over. If you've got friends who like puzzle games and are competitive, this is a great multiplayer game.

    Everday Shooter, which I doubly recommend because you have Super Stardust HD so we know you like two-stick shooters.

    Also, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, if you don't own it in one of its many other incarnations.

    Out of all the PSN games I've played, Super Stardust HD and PixelJunk Monsters would have to be the two best. PixelJunk Monsters was so good I'm actually contemplating buying PixelJunk Racers as well. flOw is pretty good but it kind of gets boring after a while and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection isn't that great compared to the PSP version (though the online mode is pretty good).

    I'm still waiting on SCEE and Capcom to release Everyday Shooter and Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix...

    I'm getting most annoyed that PAIN still isn't out in Europe. How long does it take to translate the damn game?!

    Don't you have to pay for it? I didn't think you could use a UK credit card with a US account. If I can, then I will!

    Oooh, awesome. Didn't you have trouble putting in a fake US address?

    I'll give it a go tonight, if I fail somewhere along the line then expect a PM :)

    Works for me every time.

    Most places done care that the home address is different from the billing address, unless you tried to charge it back or something, then youd probably get hit with fraud.

    I live in a MacDonalds in Utah according to my PSN address. But I'm gonna try adding my card to it now because I want everyday shooter right now.

    And it doesn't work because I have a solo card.

    How much is everyday shooter in dollars?

    I may pick up both that and Pain tonight if it doesn't come to too much.

    (And if you pm and ask me nicely I'm sure we could sort something out)
