SI: Blasting onto the scene in rather late fashion, you can't help but feel sorry for Explodemon and developer Curve Studios. Four years of hard work, and the day the game is announced, developer Twisted Pixel also announces 'Splosion Man for XBLA - a title that looked remarkably similar. Suddenly the press is calling Explodemon "that game what looks like 'Splosion Man", and Curve Studios is left feeling deflated.
A.J. says: "As Sony's first system capable of downloading games, the PlayStation 3 sure had a phenomenal library. Here, I count down ten buried treasures that you may not have heard of but are worth playing before you put your PS3 on Craigslist."
Explodemon combines the retro style of 16-bit platform games and Japanese action titles with the upgradable skills, hidden collectables and clever puzzles from more modern titles. Players use Explodemon's self-destructive nature to combat enemies and fly through the air, all the while solving a huge variety of physics-based puzzles.
