Yesterday, Sony confirmed to GameSpot that Jonathan Mak's much-anticipated Everyday Shooter would be arriving on the PlayStation Network this week. Accompanying the acclaimed one-man production this week is a trio of demos.

　　As confirmed in late September, a free trial of Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction leads the demo offerings this week. The sampler of Insomniac's latest 3D platformer is a redux of the demo offered as a preorder incentive at GameStop, and sees the titular heroes blasting through the game's first level in the city of Metropolis. Ratchet and Clank make their next-generation debut on the PlayStation 3 on October 30.

　　Also appearing on the PlayStation Network this week is a free trial of THQ's Conan. Though Sony did not reveal the contents of the Conan demo, it will most likely be similar to the Xbox Live version released earlier this week. In that sampler, gamers got to maim, butcher, and in all other ways inflict bodily harm as Robert E. Howard's Cimmerian for approximately 15 minutes. Conan will rage in all his glory on the PS3 come October 23.

　　Likewise, Sony did not elucidate the contents of 2K Sports' NHL 2K8 demo. However, gamers will invariably have the opportunity to test out the game's new control scheme, as well as check out a few of the other additions, such as the new goal-tending mechanics, face-off system, and updated graphics. The full version of NHL 2K8 is currently available at retail.
