    PSN recomendations? Need some non-retail to play

    So I've just finished GOW3 and FF13 recently, and in a bit of a lull with no new games to play at the moment, and since there's a lot of big stuff coming in april and may, and im short for cash at the moment, I don't particulary want to buy any new retail game. Which leads me to want to pick up something cheaper on the PSN that could hold me over for a couple of weeks until Splinter Cell comes out or something. 
     
    I already own Burnout, MvC2, Fat Princess, Tekken Tag and Trash Panic. And I have no interest in Flower or Wipeout before someone suggests them :P
     
    So, what do you guys think? I was thinking of Pixeljunk Shooter, but I hear its quite short :/ Megaman 10 maybe, but 9 was way too difficult for my 31 year old fingers, so I fear 10 will be too. Anything else you would recommend and I might be forgetting?

    if you like the style of the old Resident Evil games, you should check out RE 1 - 3 in PSone classics. they're still fun and entertaining plus they're very affordable!

    I just finished Metal Gear Solid and it would be a nice addition if you haven't beaten it already.

    Well, I would have said Megaman, so I guess not. What about some old school ps1 stuff?

    I can see why you'd rule out flower, but Wipeout is a pretty standard racing game... It's also fantastic at that. Just a thought.
     
    Otherwise I'd say...
    Everyday Shooter 
    PixelJunk Racers
    PixelJunk Monsters
    PixelJunk Shooter 
    Braid
    Any of the Street Fighter games
     
    Also, if you appreciate a good laugh of a game, feel free to go for Noby Noby Boy.

    PixelJunk games, PS1 classics, Braid, and yes, MM10 on easy is probably pretty fun, but why play it on easy?

    thanks for the replies guys, I ended up buying pixeljunk shooter, even tho i hear its quite short, but the mechanics and look of it really made me want to play it.

    One i just remembered and noone mentioned is Trine... no one recommends that? It looked quite cool initially, but I heard the PS3 version had some problems?
