Yesterday we let you know the future of Heavy Rain in terms of DLC as detailed by one of the game’s developers. However, until we actually get our hands on it we can’t possibly know if we’ll even want the DLC.
Luckily, Sony has just let us know that a demo for the game will be hitting the European Playstation Store on February 11th. Now, North American gamers need not get too upset as our sources tell us that Sony is likely to release a demo for our Playstation Store on the same day.
However, if the demo doesn’t drop on North American shores you can always wait until the game gets released on February 23rd.

Now here is something that is sure to piss the movie studios off — It seems that by accident Sony added the movie Armored to the Playstation Store for use with the Playstation 3 and PSP. This is fine except for the fact that Armored is still in theaters and not available anywhere else.
And, even worse, Sony didn’t even charge anything for it; they actually had an in-theaters movie available for download through the Playstation Store, for free.

Despite facing a delay at the end of July, Frozenbyte’s Trine will officially make its way onto the North American Playstation Store this October 22nd.
Make note that European PS3 owners have had their hands on side scrolling platformer for almost 2 weeks now so it’s nice to see that Frozenbyte and Nobilis (publisher) are taking the woes of North American gamers into account.
No word on pricing but we’ll let you know as soon as it’s made known.

Team based cooperative gameplay has always been popular. Whether you’re joining with friends to become the greatest fake band of all time or shooting up aliens with a buddy across the country, gamers have often gotten by with a little help from their friends. Yet nothing equals the sheer joy of smashing your friends into a grim digital pulp and dancing on their electronic graves.
That’s the idea behind Worms, one of the most recent additions to the Playstation Network. It’s already been out for Xbox Live Arcade for more than two years but its continued success prompted a port. It’s actually even older than that, with the original Worms having debuted on PC in 1995. After remakes and spin-offs the game landed as a remake on these two current-gen systems.
