LittleBigPlanet has been shown in action with the new PS3 motion controller at the Tokyo Game Show, and it actually seems to work quite well. Two demonstrators worked their way through a specially-developed level, with one guiding the Sackboy using the standard controller and the other manipulating the environment using the new ‘wand’.

Not everything in the land of the Wii is sunshine and rainbows. Visceral Games is set on creating dread and desperation on the Wii with Dead Space: Extraction, which ships today for (un)lucky Europeans. In this video, the developers teach us lessons in Horror 101 and the cinematic science of bowel-loosening frights.
