Blue Toad Murder Files

Episodic murder-mystery exclusive to PSN. Whodunnit? Relentless Software.

Numblast

2/06/2009

Numblast is a very simple puzzle game, it’s nice enough, but with Trash Panic already on the PSN Store, this needed to do something radically new to drag us away. Which it didn’t.

Let your past catch up with you in this new PlayStation Network puzzle offering. Echochrono introduces "self co-op" (playing with your past/history), while bringing a fun and different twist to the puzzle genre.

Trash Panic

4/06/2009

Take on the role of the trash man in this PlayStation Network title, as you must fill a trash bin full of random garbage in the most compact and eco-friendly way possible. It's an ingenious idea, though it may break your brain at times in the later levels.

Critter Crunch

8/10/2009

Katamari Forever

18/09/2009

ZEN Pinball

14/05/2009

Pinball comes to the current gen in this PlayStation Network download.

Droplitz

25/06/2009

Flock! - PS3 Network

9/04/2009

Nearly too goofy for its own good, this puzlly, livestock mover is too charming to pass up.

PixelJunk Eden - PS3 Network

31/07/2008

Despite its maddening difficulty, this game oozes artistic charm that makes it better than most of its big name competitors.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix

Galactrix offers an addictive, puzzle-meets-RPG experience that won’t disappoint most fans of the original PQ, as well as anyone looking for an accessible game that still packs plenty of substance.

Piyotama - PS3 Network

Quirky and intelligent puzzler is perfect material for the Network.

Trails of Topoq

The first PSN game to fully utilise the PlayStation Eye

LocoRoco Cocoreccho - PS3 Network

It's about as cute as the original, if not as fluid with Sixaxis controls. But where is our sequel, already?

Elefunk

Think lemmings but with elephants and you'll have a good idea of how this PlayStation Network puzzle game works. It starts off simple, but develops surprising depth. Occasionally frustrating, but quite satisfying when you figure a puzzle out.
