PSN 10 for '10 half-off sale: Critter Crunch, Braid, more photo

Sony is celebrating a great 2009 by starting off 2010 right: as a “thank you” to all the folks who bought PS3s and PSPs for the holiday season, they’ve slashed the prices of 10 12 PlayStation Network games in half! Now, I suppose you could chide them for not knowing how to count, but why complain when you’ve got an extra two games to choose from? Here’s the full list:

PS3 Games:

Gravity Crash (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
ZEN Pinball (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Critter Crunch (now $3.49, original price $6.99)
Braid (now $7.49, original price $14.99)
Burn Zombie Burn (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Tank Battles (now $3.49, original price $6.99)
Uno (now $3.99, original price $7.99)

PSP Games:

Savage Moon: The Hera Campaign (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Crystal Defenders PSP (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Creature Defense (now $3.99, original price $7.99)
Kurulin Fusion (now $2.49, original price $4.99)
Thexder Neo (now $4.99, original price $9.99)

The sale is only valid through January 27th, so don’t dilly-dally. At the very least, you should pick up Critter Crunch. To facilitate that, the game’s developer, Capybara Games, put together an homage to the famous January 1973 cover of National Lampoon magazine; you can see it in the gallery below. So buy Critter Crunch, or they’ll kill poor, innocent, fuzzy little Biggs! Only you can stop this tragedy!

I already bought myself Critter Crunch thanks to this awesome deal. Are any of these other games also worth grabbing?

If any of you don't buy Critter Crunch at such a ludicrous price, you don't deserve having your PS3 online.

Spoiler Alert: Burn Zombie Burn! is not fun. It gets old really quickly. Spend your $5 somewhere else.

Bah, they need to make Critter Crunch for the PSP, too. I loved Clash of Heroes -- more Capybara has to be a good thing.

Are any of the PSP games in the list worth bothering with?

Definitely getting Braid, possibly Gravity Crash.

Just picked up Critter Crunch, because 3.50 is a ludicrously low price. Like I almost even feel guilty for buying it when it's so low.

Samit! Last night I dreamed I met you. It was some kind of orchestra and you were playing in it. I walked over and said hi when it was done. That's about it.

I guess my brain confused you and Joseph Leray, as yesterday I listen to podtoid 134 and he said he just got back from orchestra practice. Weird...

I bought Critter Crunch at full price and it was completely worth it then.

For the sale I picked up ZEN Pinball, just so I could have the Street Fighter table.

I picked up Critter Crunch last night, great game. Now I need to pick up Braid, Burn Zombie Burn, and ZEN Pinball. Since my Blu-ray drive took a tump on me, I figure it's high-time to get reacquainted with PSN games.

Critter Crunch and Braid are well worth the price. Unfortunately, they're the only two I'm interested in, and I already own them :(

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy PSN games through your computer's web browser and then download them later? My PS3 is in storage and I wanna get Braid for half off, but I can't figure out how one might go about paying for the game unless you actually fire up the PS3. Help?

@D Sane - All these deals are available on Amazon.com. They give you a code to use on PSN. Just buy Brain on Amazon, and voila! You have the download code for whenever you get your PS3 out of storage.

Crunch + Braid should definitely be purchased by everyone. Not only are they both amazing games, but it'd definitely help to support the indie developers for future releases.

Now there is not reason to not get critter crunch. It's an awesome puzzle game as reviewed here.

I was about to get Critter Crunch, until I heard the price.
Three Fifty.
It was about that time I noticed that Biggs was started to look a lot like an underwater creature from the Mesozoic Era. Goddamn Loch Ness Monster.

Actually, I bought Critter Crunch, as well as Braid, Burn Zombie Burn, Gravity Crash and ZEN Pinball. This sale totally makes up for the lack of actual content in the Store update.
