The latest figures in from reveal that puerile teen-bating hit PAIN was the PS3's most downloaded title of 2008, via the PlayStation Network.

Sony has made a good effort to keep PAIN up to date since the title launched earlier this year, new expanding the physics-based ragdoll-hurler, and even adding David Hasselhoff himself into an already combustive mix.

High Velocity Bowling was number two on the most-downloaded chart, followed by Super Stardust HD and PixelJunk Monsters.

Then there's FlOw, Warhawk and Aquatopia. 5: Dark Resurrection continuing the top ten, followed by High Stakes Poker and - lastly - Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty.
