PSN: GamerBytes Analysis: Top 10 PSN Games For February 2009
This week's episode of PlayStation Pulse has revealed the Top 10 PSN Games For February 2009. They are as follows:

It's of no surprise that Flower has risen to the top of the charts for this month. The long awaited wind simulator captured the hearts of many Playstation owners and got fantastic reviews across the board.
Second on the list is Noby Noby Boy, which came out half way through the month. Noby Noby Boy was quite a risk - a game that's not quite a game, a little meta in nature, in some ways similar to Linger In Shadows - an experience more than a game. The fact that the game sat in at $5USD probably helped it along as well.
3-On-3 NHL Arcade was the first game released this month, but sold only enough to garner 4th spot on the ladder, with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix beating it on third. This is a stark contrast to the Xbox Live Arcade lists, which had NHL Arcade on top for 3 weeks.
The final new release for the month, Zuma, did not make the Top 10 at all despite it being one of the bigger PopCap classics. I could imagine that the $10 price point, when compared to the XBLA's reduced $5 price point, makes the game look expensive. It's original release was back in 2003, so it may be looking a little old at the moment.
Both Savage Moon and Bejeweled 2, released at the very end of January, made the list in 5th and 7th place. Magic Ball, also released in January, slipped in at 10th place. As per usual, Mortal Kombat II continues to sell ridiculously well despite being out for almost 2 years.
With the release of Watchmen, Red Baron Arcade, Astro Tripper, Buzz Jr and Burn Zombie Burn for this month, it'll be interesting to see whether Flower and Noby Noby can hold onto the top spots for another month running.

Nice post Ryan. as for SF beating NHL, It would seem games like MK and SF hold a special part in the minds of mature gamers. Given that the PS3 community is actually the oldest of the 3 consoles, I wouldnt be surprise If SF stays with MK in the list for the rest of the year just for the nostalgia factor...not like they are bad games too :)
It would also be nice to know If this list covers the whole PSN or just the US....Since Pulse is produced by SCEA perhaps they only use SCEA data.
I wonder If an email to SCEA would answer me that question.
