I see Tetris is still as popular as ever, nice. Now I'm stuck with that tune in my head again...
by AlmostApollo Monday, January 23, 2012 at 04:41 PM

/Four/ of the top 6 paid content was CoD map packs. Just thought I'd point it out.

I just got a ps3 and now i know what games to get on psn:)

How is tetris still this popular?? The game hasn't changed in 20 years!!! /rant Why are Tetris and Angry Birds not on the same list? Wouldn't they be in the same category? They're both paid PSN games. Or am I not reading the list right?

More people need to play Rochard. While we're at it, not a downloadable title but Rayman: Origins deserves more attention.
by Gray_Matter Monday, January 23, 2012 at 05:46 PM

I've been wanting to download Resident Evil 4, can someone tell me how much memory it takes up?
by Mister Warsaw Monday, January 23, 2012 at 05:48 PM

So Call of Duty related content sold like crack. Something just doesn't fit about the highest selling gaming series putting out what ends up to be the highest selling online content...
by Zebra3 Monday, January 23, 2012 at 05:49 PM

Wait a minute, I thought Festival of Blood was strictly DLC for Infamous 2. I'd be interested to see what they consider to be a "Game" and a "Paid Download."
by Velimir Monday, January 23, 2012 at 05:56 PM

Surprised to see a CCG on this list. Not surprised to see COD DLC selling so much.

Good for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. I love that game!!
by Coolagoon Monday, January 23, 2012 at 06:20 PM

I almost got Castle Crashers, but I got Trine 2.
by thejonnymar Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:00 PM

I contributed to Angry Birds being #7!
by darkbatghost88 Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:17 PM

I haven't got the chance to download Festival of Blood or Limbo. I sure do hope i'll get to though.Also that the Rezurrection Pack for Black Ops was probably the best thing I downloaded last year.
by Sluggtitz831 Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:25 PM

Resident evil 4 got really high up there! Awesome!
by PlatinumUp Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:28 PM

I'm glad to see that Limbo got so high on the list. It's a simple game but that's what makes it so good and memorable.
by BMW Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:44 PM

Limbo, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil 4! Awesome!
by The Second Musketeer Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:50 PM

What?! CoD getting good sales? Ha! This chart is rigged!
by wickemic Monday, January 23, 2012 at 09:40 PM

I wasn't really surprised here. The only thing surprising was Festival of Blood not being 1 or 2.
by domFerris Monday, January 23, 2012 at 10:16 PM

It's a shame that Dungeon Defenders isn't even on this list...
by slickvicXLII Monday, January 23, 2012 at 10:22 PM

I think its amazing that after all these years and numerous platforms, Tetris can still top lists like these. It truly is timeless, and an amazing accomplishment.
