May be announced at Spike VGAs
THQ studio head Danny Bilson has announced via Twitter that the publisher will soon be able to show off a brand new core title for Kinect, leading some to speculate it could be shown off at the Spike Video Game Awards later today.
VP gives OK
Not everyone has been able to get to grips with The Fight: Lights Out, but Sony's fictitious vice president of just about everything Kevin Butler wants to spread a little information, sharing this video of the game's head-tracking, fist-pumping action in full flow.

Would be as simple as a firmware patch
Move's technology is super-accurate, but according to Sony engineer Anton Mikhailov most studios aren't yet using the controller to its full potential, something we'd expect after just three months on sale. When they do maximise the controller's precision, they may find Sony moving the goalposts, as Mikhailov has said the company has the ability to increase the controller's accuracy through firmware updates, but probably won't.
