Canuckistan Recommends...


Now that Christmas is over, alot of us would have some giftcards, or maybe have received Microsoft points/PSN credits. I was lucky enough to receive 1500 Microsoft points (space bucks), and the idea for this post was born.

In order to maybe help you spend up big, I have compiled 2 quick lists of must-have PSN & XBLA titles. You might not want to buy many/any of these games, but it definately is some food for thought.


Playstation Network (PSN)

1. Super Stardust HD - An excellent twin-stick shooter, set on a 3D 'globe'.
2. Fat Princess - Multiplayer mayhem, with surprisingly deep gameplay/strategy.
3. PixelJunk Shooter - Another twin-stick shooter... with a grappling hook!
4. Burn Zombie Burn - A top-down shooter with ZOMBIESSSSSSSSSSS!
5. PAIN - Catapult your character into targets/objects for points.


Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA)

1. Pinball FX - One of the best Pinball games around.
2. PacMan C.E. - An excellent reboot for the PacMan franchise.
3. Geometry Wars 2 - The best twin-stick shooter on XBLA.
4. Battlefield 1943 - Excellent multiplayer action. Alot of fun & variety.
5. Castle Crashers - Classic styled side-scrolling beat-em-up.

From those lists, Battlefield 1943 is the only title on both PSN & XBLA. Download the demo's for the XBLA list and try them out. Unfortunately, I don't think any of those PSN titles have demos, but you can check gameplay out by searching on YouTube.

What other titles do you think are must haves?
