So what’s worth picking up on the PlayStation Store this week, hmm? Well, there’s the demo for Just Cause 2, for one.
If that’s not enough to whet your appetite, there is also a plethora of DLC for numerous titles, and Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement for those looking for a bit of an strategy RPG fix.

There’s a rather big update to the European PlayStation Store this week, and the biggest highlight of this one is pretty obvious – the Heavy Rain demo is finally available for everyone to download!
If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our Heavy Rain demo impressions. We were certainly impressed, and you hopefully will be too.
There’s also… Frogger HD. Yes, really.

Nippon Ichi America have been forced to change the name of their “Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!” series of games because it is a ‘conflict of interest’ with an existing property.
The name of the franchise has been changed to “What did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?” with immediate effect. Due to the name change the original game has been removed from download on the Playstation Store so the name can be changed.
The sequel has also been delayed until May 4th to allow the necessary changes to be made.
The old name was a tribute to the old Batman TV series, where Robin would constantly exclaim “Holy ____, Batman!”
This week’s European PlayStation Store update is a pretty generous helping, and includes an additional chapter for Assassin’s Creed 2, and new skins for the Uncharted 2 multiplayer, amongst your usual helpings of LittleBigPlanet, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band offerings.
Enjoy!

At TGS 2009 Kojima Productions released two different demos of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. One was available for all at sites such as IGN, and another exclusive to Konami’s TGS 09 show room floor.
This new demo is said to contain the missing level from the downloadable demo, aswell as extras. Some of these extras are;
New control scheme
A third control scheme is said to be “unlockable”. Unlock a control scheme? Seriously?
New enhanced AI
Many people will agree that the Peace Walker AI had its glitches. Such as standing right in front of a guy, and not being seen. Aswell as standing behind, holding them up, and getting caught.
Mountain Level
The missing level from the downloadable demo will be available.
When will the demo be available? November 1st. Less then a week away. You will be able to get it on the Japanese PlayStation Store, and from the Peace Walker Official Site. No word on if this will contain atleast English subtitles, or will be all-Japanese.

Best sackboy costumes ever? Quite possibly.
