We're back with a regular edition of DLC Digest post-Gamescom. Sorry for the lack of these posts, and they should be online weekly again.

Anyway, let's first take a look at this week's most high-profile release Shank. The side-scrolling 2D beat 'em up from Klei Entertainment and EA is now available on both the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, going for 1200 Microsoft Points (£10.20) and £9.99 respectively, with free trial versions available on both platforms. It features an interesting art style, and with a free demo it's certainly worth a look.

Joining it on the Xbox Live Arcade this week is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, coinciding with the recent release of the film. The Xbox 360 release comes two weeks after the PlayStation 3 got the game, and it now costs 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80).

Returning to the PlayStation Store we see that Shank is joined by PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap. It's a free expansion to the original game which has been available to PlayStation Plus owners exclusively for the past couple of weeks. Now it's available to all, and has resulted in a re-release costing £6.29. Indie hit Joe Danger is now available in "Trial and Unlock" format, while those with 3D TVs can now enjoy Motorstorm 3D Rift - a mixture of the first two games designed for 3D - for £9.99. That's all PS3 content, as the PSP meanwhile gets access to two new £3.49 minis; Hive Sweeper and Fort Commander: King's Gambit, along with PSone 'classic' Toy Story Racer for the surprisingly high price of £5.49. Of course, all three of these are also playable on a PlayStation 3. There's also Mafia II DLC called "The Betrayal of Jimmy", which is free with an included code for those who bought the game new, and £6.29 for those picking it up second-hand.

Over on the Nintendo Stores PC indie game And Yet It Moves has made a natural transition to the Wiimote. Now available as WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points (£7), it's certainly worth investigating, even without any free trial (which is normal for the platform, unfortunately). It's joined by Tales of Elastic Boy: Mission 1 for 600 Wii Points (£4.20), while on the DSi you can now get a Where's Wally game for 500 DSi Points (£4.50), or a new version of myNotebook for the same price.

And that's all for another week.
