PlayStation Store

The PlayStation store only has one demo this week, for the upcoming Folklore. As usual, when you’re dying for playable content of any sort, this will absolutely fit the bill. If you like videos, though, you are in luck: the all new Metal Gear Solid trailer was released at the Games Convention in Germany and now you can download it! There’s also some new WarHawk wallpapers available for your XMB enjoyment.

Finally, although it’s not a game it warrants mentioning: Folding@Home has been updated. Make sure you’re running this while your PS3 is idle, you could make a huge difference in scientific research.
