    So I got some PSN cards and have about 15 bucks to spend, after deciding to get BC: Rearmed, Fat Princess and MvC2. I don't really want SSHD, PAIN, High Velocity Bowling, Flower or and of the pixel junk games (yea I'm pretty picky). I'm considering crash commando + trash panic but I am open to some other choices.

    Trash Panic is apparently mad hard. If you're into that stuff, then sure! I don't know anything about Crash Commando, but BC: Rearmed and Fat Princess are both a lot of fun (though Fat Princess has some server issues I think, it's difficult to find a specific type of game).

    It's difficult for me to recommend you anything not knowing anything about what you play. If you're that picky, maybe you should decide for yourself ^^ The most fun I had with a PSN game was probably Pixeljunk Monsters, a tower defense game with a co-op component. Since you've already declined that game I don't have much more to say =)

    Hope you find something you like!

    Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll just get trash panic and hold out for castle crashers in 2010 : \

    I enjoyed both of the Penny Arcade Adventure games quite a bit.

    Trash Panic is very difficult but lots of fun.  Shatter is great too.

    1. Wipeout HD - just awesome fun with a strong online multiplayer community
    2. Everyday Shooter - engaging and different than all the other Geometry Wars clones (which, itself was a Robotron clone) but you need to like twin stick shooters.
    3. Flower - trippy and calming.  Unique but not an action game, if that's what you're looking for.
    And, I'm not sure if you've already picked it up on XBLA, but Castle Crashers is coming to PSN at some point and it's worth price of admission.  You might just want to hold off for that.  Also, I haven't played it online yet, but there is the Battlefield 1943 game out there, too.

    Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars.  Well worth the $10, the online play is awesome and keeps the game interesting.

    Here's my recommendation - don't buy anything on PSN.
     
    Digital distribution and DLC are shafting consumers.

    In my opinion, PSN has overtaken XBLA in terms of number of quality experiences. Fat Princess, Shatter, Super Stardust HD, echochrome, flower, flOw. Not only that, Trine, Braid and Castle Crashers is coming as well.
     
    Sure 'Splosion Man is great fun, but no downloadable game on the 360 has held me as long as games on PSN have.

    Man, where is the Super Stardust HD love? :(
     
    Check out Super Stardust HD, man. It's a fantastic, addictive game. I've poured countless hours into it and there are trophies to collect if that's your thing.

    Digital Distribution, whether you like it or not (me not liking it) is the future and DLC is a nice way to extend the life of a game.

    It doesn't extend the life of a game because it gets taken off servers quickly when sales slump off and you're not able to buy it again.

    As soon as I get MvC2 I am also going to check out Flower which has been in the back of my mind. I also wouldnt mind playing Trine whenever it comes out.
