Gamers have been frothing at the mouth for Metal Gear Solid 4, often hailed as PS3′s savior. Though the game does not have an official release date at the moment, you can play it sooner than expected.

The latest issue of EGM lets jealous readers know that they played through a demo, which, thankfully, will show up on the PlayStation Network as a playable demo. An update by one of their editors on PSU reveals that it is finished and though he does not offer any solid release date, he mentions the following: “It could all depend on the game’s final on sale date, if it has moved to May then a demo could appear later, possibly February.”
