Joystiq [PlayStation]

Best Downloadable Game

PixelJunk Monsters
Q Games | Sony Computer Entertainment

This was a very difficult category to vote in, as there were so many great games released on PlayStation Network this year. However, none absorbed as much of our time as Q-Games' wolf-in-sheeps-clothing PixelJunk Monsters. Like a fine board game, PJM lures you in with its simple concept and rules. Then, it hooks you with its incredible depth. This is a rare game that makes us throw our controllers in frustration while begging for more. It's really that good.

"Hands down best downloadable game of the year. The graphics were immense, the replay value was never ending and i could never run out of things to do in it. Did i mention it help up 1080p @ 60FPS?" - Cameron
