The PlayStation Store of North America rings in 2011 with a sample casual, addictive downloads, including seminal puzzle game Tetris for the PlayStation 3 and smash hit Angry Birds for the PSP.
While the appeal of high-definition, 5.1 surround sound Tetris may have you opening up the wallet, other efforts like surgical shooter MicroBot for the PS3 and Auditorium for the PSP may also be worth your time. Musically, there's plenty of Rock Band 3 content at your disposal, including the free Rock Band bundle.
