  • I wasn't really sold on Katamari Forever (and I've been using the original KD theme as my ringtone); the original was a blast of fresh air, but the most recent have a little bit of 'hey, did someone leave the door open?' about them.
  • On the other hand, I'd argue for moving 3d Dot Game Heroes up a notch - from what I know of you, it's really Your Kind Of Game. Except that it needs more giant robots. But I really think you'll fall for it pretty hard.
  • Another recommendation for Flower, which is probably my favorite game of the last several years. I suspect it may fall a little flat with some people, but I'd definitely say try it at least.
  • Everyday Shooter is 'just' an arena shooter, so if you're not a fan then you can safely pass it by, but if you care for the genre at all it's an absolutely fantastic and fascinating example. A great illustration of how much visuals and music (and a few small tweaks) can change the feel of identical core gameplay. Super Stardust HD isn't quite as 'arty', but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and it's still a fine frantic game.
  • And the various Pixeljunk games, though really I can only speak firsthand for Pixeljunk Eden and Pixeljunk Shooter - I'm a huge, huge fan of Eden, though, and it's really like nothing else out there. Pac-Man sort-of meets Bionic Commando in the last world of Rez? I don't know that there's any reasonable way of describing it, but it's well worth the checking out.

I'm not sure whether it says more about the system or me that I bought this $300 piece of hardware mostly to play $10 games on...
