Even though Linger in Shadows gave Monstervine high hopes for demoscenes, this one isn't really what they had in mind. Maybe if a little more had been added, they would've appreciated it more than a quick "lol wut" Trophy grab. Only more effort from .produkkt would have made it better.
"It’s time for another head-long dive into the strange and bizarre on Digital Delivery, kids! That’s right – we’re going into another batch of the weirdest PSN games ever! We promised you more the last time we did this, and here we are to deliver. This week, our games will be currently available, so you won’t have to wait to get your hands on some strange stuff." - Steve Perry, Stealthy Box
People continue to debate whether video games should be considered art. Opponents disagree because of user interaction, while supporters argue that games with stylish graphics and deeper experiences cross the line into artistic expression. We’re still not sure which side of the proverbial fence we sit on, but the following downloadable games could be considered works of art, thanks to unique visuals and captivating gameplay.

The site doesn't cover PC titles, so it's strictly games from Live, PSN and WiiWare
Episode 25 of Qore is all about Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Green Day Rock Band, PixelJunk Shooter 2 and Clash of the Titans.
All subscribers can download the demoscene title “detuned” for free, and all purchasers will have access to a Clash of the Titans PS3 theme. As usual, Audrey has a rundown of the latest Blu-ray releases, and this month we spotlight our first “Geek Hero”, Gary Whitta—a PC magazine editor turned Hollywood screenwriter. Green Day fans can test their knowledge in the “Name That Tune” mini-game, and don’t forget to try the Lara Croft-themed memory match puzzles to unlock Veronica’s outtake videos.
Look for Episode 25 tomorrow on the PlayStation Store update.
I bought this dud hoping that outside of the p*ss poor interactivity that it would function as a nice quirky music visualizer. I couldn't believe that the auto play was only available as a demo and that to play your own music you had to control the actions. At the end of the day, I would gladly pay for a new music visualizer as the PS3 is my living room entertainment hub but .detuned disappoints on every level. A waste of time and money for all involved.
