I actually just read this news story over on TheSixthAxis and it's been reported there as a terrible list and every person who's posted in the comments over there believe it to be a terrible list. I also tend to agree that it's a terrible list of games.
And what the heck is Tetris doing in the best PSN exclusives? A great game, a classic game but Sony don't own Tetris. Or did they buy the rights?

I agree that the selections aren't uniformly great (I couldn't even vote on two categories), but that's what you get when you decide by popular vote.
@frosty
Not Tetris...Tetris HD.
;P

really?
wow, $onys standards have dropped allot!
FoB is one of the worst PSN games available!
and tetris?
really?
ok, this is a serious question what has $ony been smoking lately?
i mean when your voting tetris for best online game you know its time to check the clock and pass the dooby on the left hand side.
ONLY game there that deserves to be on that list is limbo!

maybe Ive been looking through my rose tinted glasses again, but I can think of a lot better games than what has been nominated there.
then again, its a bit like joining PSN Plus and realising that every new full game that they bring out to wow you with.. you had actually brought several months before and are now cursing them under your breath.
