In what is a surprising list, Pain (released in 2007) was the number 1 most downloaded game this year according to Pulse.
It beat off PixelJunk Monsters, PixelJunk Eden, Super Stardust HD, and Rachet & Clank: Quest for Booty which is an impressive list of games to fight off for the coveted top spot.

- Pain
- High Velocity Bowling
- Super Stardust HD
- PixelJunk Monsters
- fl0w
- Warhawk
- Aquatopia
- Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection
- High Stakes Poker Edition
- Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty
PixelJunk Eden didn’t even make the top 10, which is peculiar as it seemed to have generated a lot of hype (feel free to correct me here). Pain’s constant flow of content no doubt generated continual interest in the title, as well as its very simple gameplay mechanics.
Still one cannot help feel a little disappointed that a 2007 game sold more than anything else released in 2008

PixelJunk Monsters is junk, I want a proper tower defense game, at least Savage Moon is much better but lack multiplayer 🙁
I actually don’t own Pain yet and after playing it on a friend’s PS3 I don’t really care to get it for free via his account.
