The PlayStation Move-powered "In Motion" expansion for Portal 2 received a free batch of DLC today on the PlayStation 3, developer Sixense Studios announced. In Motion owners can immediately access the new content by installing a patch released today on the PlayStation Network.
Sixense's "Non-Emotional Manipulation" DLC adds a co-op campaign to In Motion, allowing two players (using two PlayStation Move controllers) to team up in split-screen or online cooperative modes. Cross-play with PC players via the Portal 2 MotionPack is also supported. A patch released last year added PlayStation Move support to Portal 2's core campaign and co-op levels, though Move-specific gameplay mechanics such as Portal Surfing and Scaling are exclusive to Sixense's expansion.
Both Portal 2 and the In Motion expansion are currently on sale for 20 percent off in the PlayStation Store. PlayStation Plus members get an additional 40 percent discount off the sale price.

Wonderbook's 'Diggs Nightcrawler' due this holiday [update: May 29 in EU]

To date, the library for the PS3's augmented reality Wonderbook is one game deep: just Book of Spells. Wonderbook owners will have a second game to play "this Holiday," roughly a year after the first, when Diggs Nightcrawler arrives. [Update: May 29 in Europe!]
The PlayStation Blog posted a development diary and a gameplay video today, revealing the good news: Diggs Nightcrawler looks pretty interesting! The time developer Moonbot spent figuring out how to implement gameplay appears to be paying off. It's a (cute) noir mystery set in a series of virtual books, each of which is a setpiece for investigation, conducted by folding the book, touching the pages, and otherwise manipulating the world as if it really did come out of a book. Imagine what Wonderbook developers could come up with if they iterated a third time.
Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold hits PSN this week with a Move control scheme, a fresh HD scrub-down, new difficulty modes and Leaderboard support . The Lost Gold follows Mad Dog McCree's HD PSN launch in January.

Wilson asked for volunteers from the audience to step on stage and play three games that influenced Joust: Standoff, Listelanse and the Danish Clapping Game.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut, which has SWERY's signature on it so you know how director's cut-ty it is, will be released on April 30 in North America, both as a retail game and as a PSN download.
Pre-orders of the retail version from "participating retailers" including GameStop and Amazon will receive DLC "so plush, that Agent York (and Zach) will feel like their investigation in the small country town of Greenvale just turned into a vacation." The announcement from publisher Rising Star Games explains that the DLC will "expand the mystery beyond the original game and let Agent York (and Zach) live it up in Greenvale."
Like everything else about this game, man, we don't know.
Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X are also bundled together for €19.99 (£15.99), while several other games have been knocked down to €14.99 (£10.99) each: Operation Raccoon City, the gold edition of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection – the HD Move-compatible port of both Chronicles games originally released on the Wii. Sorry, UK, Chronicles HD will cost you an extra quid, at £10.99.
The latest entry in the series, Resident Evil 6, is €24.99 (£19.99). Finally, a bundle that includes all of this is available for €69.99 (£59.99). No word on whether PlayStation Plus members will see additional discounts on these items, though we've contacted Sony for clarification.
Remember: the sale doesn't start until tomorrow, after the PlayStation Store update. Don't go accidentally buying any of this stuff now, because if there's one thing everyone knows about you, it's that you're totally not a chump at all.
