Gamers have plenty of options when it comes to selecting downloadable games on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC. But with so many choices, how do you separate the good games from the bad? GamePro Arcade is here to help, offering up the 5 best games for each platform that no gamer should go without.
The second edition of our 4-part series series tackles Playstation Network.
Even though Terry seems to make fun of PSN's sparce offerings on a weekly basis, PlayStation has stuck to the quality over quantity model for its downloadable service. In case you are new to PS3 or just looking for some great games to try, continue reading for our list of the Top 5 games every PS3 owner should download. It's important to note that all five games are PS3 exclusive!
PAIN ($10) - One of the first PSN games is still a blast to play today. Sony has supported this game with constant level and character packs. What could be more fun than crashing and demolishing a city? Human pinball at its finest.
Crash Commando ($10) - This is probably the most overlooked PSN game and I have no idea why. Frantic 2D shooting on a variety of maps with a deep single player and online mode make Crash Commando a must own.
Flower ($10) - With the most crtical acclaim of any of these titles, I would be surprised if you haven't picked this one up yet. For just $10, you get a single player experience better than many retail games. The length of Flower is just right for a PSN game, allowing players to actually comlpete the story mode without playing it all week long.
Warhawk ($30) - Available on retail shelves or online, Warhawk set a new standard in downloadable games. Like PAIN, this game has been supported over the past few years with level packs and downloadable updates to enhance play. With a variety of vehicles and weapons along with a great online community, what's not to like about Warhawk?

Trash Panic ($5) - Maybe because it is fresh in my mind or maybe because it is so strange, Trash Panic just sqeaks into my top 5. As the cheapest game on the list, this Tetris like puzzler is very difficult but compeletely unique from anything else out there.
