Though the drought continues on the European PlayStation Store (the late arrival of echochrome is certainly cherishable) the US PlayStation Store is painted with four PS3 demos. 

Of course, it’s quality not quantity and I’d hate to impose my opinion on whether all the following games are of the former. Siren: Blood Curse, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Wall-E, and Monster Madness: Grave Dangers will have demos available for download today.

The episodic title Siren: Blood Curse (four downloadable episodes at $9.99 each, or $39,99 for all) tops the billings this week and if Eurogamer’s review is to be believed, it could be a sleeper hit.

This weeks US PlayStation Store Update is as follows:

Demos:
- Siren: Blood Curse
- The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
- Monster Madness: Grave Danger
- Wall-E

Downloadable Content
- Rock Band ($1.99 each)

High Velocity Bowling is indeed coming to the US Playstation Store today, as can be seen by looking at the official US website. Bowling with the Sixaxis sounds fun, but the question is, is it as fun as using a Wii Mote?

In addition, the US at last gets Beats for the PSP. Made by Sony’s London Studio, it’s been out in Europe for a while and it’s great fun to play a game that uses the beats from your favorite music.

Now PixelJunk Monsters, which we previewed last week, is not coming to the US or Europe until January next year. It is, however, already out in Japan for 900 yen.

Americans can also look forward to a Black Sabbath pack for Rock Band at the cost of $5.49. Including three songs, Ozzy also lets us buy the them separately; N.I.B., Sweet Leaf, or War Pigs – each at $1.99.

Also coming to the US this week is Folklore downloadable content, which we already told you about here. Expect some costumes and characters similar to Japan as well, which you can see below. Oh, and don’t be surprised if you get the new GTAIV trailer to download in all its HD glory.

Last but not least, the European and Australian store has been updated with a Kane and Lynch: Dead Men demo (840MB), among other things, such as a Killzone 2 theme to pretty up your XMB. Photographs of the themes follow the Folklore DLC images. Here’s proof that a Kane & Lynch demo is indeed up:
