It's slim pickings this week for new additions to the PlayStation store, with a full-game download of the often-overlooked but quite enjoyable Darksiders leading the way for full retail releases.

This week on the PlayStation store, the pickings are slimmer for new games than they've been, but there is still some fun stuff to be found. Alice: Madness Returns arrives as a downloadable game, with a full-game trial for PlayStation Plus users. Rocksmith owners will have a chance to download some killer Megadeth tracks, which is never a bad thing, and there are a whole grip of game videos (yay!) to tide you over through the holidays, including the trailer for Naughty Dog's just-announced The Last of Us, which beats trying to watch it on YouTube.
