10 of the Best: Downloadable games

Check out these great value titles no gamer should be without, hand-picked by PlayStation.com and available from PlayStation Store.

Portal 2 In Motion (PS3)

Blasting holes through walls not enemies was the defining characteristic of Portal 2. Armed with the portal gun, you'd bend the laws of physics to escape a series of test chambers. Now, you can transform your PlayStation Move motion controller into the portal gun in this stand-alone chapter, which challenges you to use your brainpower to escape 20 new test chambers.

Download it if... you fancy playing as one of the two robot heroes of Portal 2, Atlas or P-body, and trying out new mechanics such as object scaling.

Jet Set Radio (PS3, PS Vita)

Skate, trick and tag your way through a riotous vision of Tokyo in SEGA's classic Jet Set Radio, remastered for both PS3 and PS Vita. Tokyo-to is a playground to express yourself in with graffiti, yet the local police force and rival gang members are hot on your tail... 

Download it if... you want to skate and paint in an unforgettable world, to one of the funkiest soundtracks around.

The Walking Dead (PS3)

As convicted criminal Lee Everett, you'll grab the chance to right your previous wrongs in a zombie-ridden world. An orphaned girl named Clementine needs protecting through five episodes, set in the same world as Robert Kirkman's prize-winning comic book series. 

Download it if... stopping darling Clementine being lost and gone forever appeals to your sense of decency.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD (PS3)

Seven classic levels from both Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 are brought together here in one grazing, bumping, thrilling celebration of skateboarding.

Download it if... you'd like to recreate some of Tony Hawk's most jaw-dropping moves without having to don knee pads.

Rainbow Moon (PS3)

Don't let Rainbow Moon's cute, colourful visual style fool you. This is a game that packs in dozens of hours of gameplay, more special skills than a Lionel Messi goal compilation and a vast world to explore. Balanced turn-based strategy means you can develop your characters and then plan your attacks in minute detail to get the best out of your team.

Download it if... you want months of high quality exploration mixed with tactical battles.

Journey (PlayStation 3)

A vast desert landscape. Oddly beautiful emptiness, yet never loneliness. In Journey, you are drawn ever closer to a distant, mysterious mountain, and you can choose whether to get there alone or with other, anonymous travellers. It's proved one of the most popular games on PlayStation Store – play it yourself and you'll see why.

Download it if... You fancy seeing incredible sights with other PlayStation Network players rather than outscoring or outshooting them.

TOKYO JUNGLE (PS3)

Prowl the streets of Tokyo, form powerful pacts and battle your way to the top of the food chain. No, this isn't the latest open world gangster epic, but the quirky tale of what could happen if animals took over Earth's cities. Secure territory, fight off attackers and find a mate to ensure your legacy lives on. 

Download it if... the only law you want to live by is that of the concrete jungle.

The Unfinished Swan (PS3)

Splashing your environment with thick black paint doesn't sound like the best way to reveal your world's secrets, but then The Unfinished Swan turns expectations upside down. Ten-year-old Monroe is entranced by a white swan which springs to life from one of his mother's incomplete paintings. Chase it into a strange land of brilliant white, use your PS Move motion controller to splat paint around and learn where you must go.

Download it if... you want to create something beautiful by making a real mess.

When Vikings Attack (PS3, PlayStation Vita)

You know how it is. You forget to set your alarm clock and the next thing you know, you're 1,200 years late for work. When the daily grind involves invading islands across the sea, timing really is everything, so rally your fellow civilians and fight the horned invaders off. And with the game available at no extra cost on PS Vita when you download it to PS3 – and vice versa – you can give those cranky Vikings what for, wherever you are.

Download it if... real-life neighbourhood watch schemes just seem a little tame to you.

Okami HD (PS3)

Okami HD is a dazzling High Definition remake of the PlayStation 2 classic. As Amaterasu, the sun goddess who inhabits a wolf's body, you'll use your PS Move motion controller to restore colour and life to the world, solving ingenious puzzles and seeing off mystical creatures along the way.

Download it if... you fancy becoming the hero of a living, breathing Japanese sumi-e painting.
