I thought you refering to shooters in general (including fps, tps, etc.) at which I would have listed more but just off the top of my head. Pixeljunk Shooters Pixeljunk shooters 2 The shoot (notice how they all have some form of the word shoot in them lol) I also forgot about downloadable titles such as the art style series. As for puzzle games, sony has made great ones such as Echocrome and several other titles(that I have no idea what they're appropriate genre would be) such as Comet crash, fat princess, and flower. |
Let me stop you right there, the PixelJunk are amazingly awesome, but they're also 100% 3rd party. Sony doesn't develop the games (Q-Games does) or own the IP (again, Q-Games does), they just publish the games outside Japan and have an exclusivity arrangement. If by that standard PixelJunk is 1st party, then Dragon Quest IX is a 1st party Nintendo game. ;)
As for "shooters", I tend to make a distinction between fps/tps (which are really derived from action games) and more classic shmups (from which rail shooters and gun games are derived)... which is why I already gave the edge to Sony on fps/tps earlier.
As for other games, I'd say Flower is legitimately hard to classify (probably an action game), Fat Princess is a straight up RTS (so strategy) and Comet Crash is tower defense (also strategy). None of them are really puzzle games.
