All that is worth getting is pain, but I dont have a credit card so I can't buy online... they'll probably never release PSN value cards or anything. Most of the recent updates have been terrible.. Nothing worth having, including this one. Rockband ones are pointless since pal was screwed over until next year with it

Destruction Derby and Kula World are two awesome games.

It also made me think that Sony need to work on a PSN version of Destruction Derby HD.

I'm interested in Pain, but will wait for reviews, or possibly the inevitable sale that will come in a couple months. May someday get the new Resistance maps, although the first pack pretty much ended up being a waste since it seems like no one else got them. And I'm not interested in paying $33 for the Oblivion expansion.

Early reports indicate that PAIN has some bugs. You may want to wait until they're fixed before picking it up.

On the flip side, I just picked up Operation Creature Feature from PSN for the PlayStation Eye, and it is yet another amazing example of awesome gameplay not found on the Wii. You basically use your whole body (or any other object that comes to hand) like a Wiimote. The game plays a lot like Lemmings, but with a full body motion twist.

The game superimposes the camera output onto the playfield, and you use motion to move objects around (in this case, the Blurb creatures, which are attracted to movement). Anything moving in the camera's field of vision gets picked up and interpreted on the screen as "ripples" around the object, and draws nearby creatures to that location on the screen. This movement-magnetism is used to guide the creatures around the screen to avoid traps, trigger doors and buttons, and do other things, with the eventual goal being geting as many as you can into the exit before time runs out.

How much better does it work than eyetoy for PS2?

Significantly better. As long as you have sufficient lighting, the camera is quite good at reading what it sees.
