8. PAIN (PlayStation 3 - PSN)
What it is:
A downloadable title with the simplest of premises: strap an unfortunate person into a giant slingshot and launch them screaming into a densely decorated downtown cityscape, causing as much damage as possible.
Why it's perfect:
Because a person falling down is funny. A person catapulted into a giant, rooftop-mounted bowling ball, which then falls and lands upon them in the street, where they get hit by a car and dragged until they hit an exploding mailbox that throws them into the path of an oncoming train, which then sends them careening through an outdoor restaurant's patio furniture ... is hilarious.
Where does the booze go?
This one has a drinking game practically built right in: a "HORSE" mode in which the players try to recreate each others' bone-fracturing feats. You lose, you drink. Before long, you wouldn't feel the pain if it was you yourself crashing into that billboard's 12 foot-wide bowl of cereal.
