Slight delay for fighter
If you've been looking forward to Sony's The Fight: Lights Out since you first picked up your Move, the bad news is you'll have to wait a little longer to smack your friends in full 1:1 control.
Travis touches down
The official US PlayStation blog gets plenty scoops – it is the official PlayStation blog after all – but not always.
Neither disc nor download planned
We've been keeping you up to date with the development videos of Telltale's Back to the Future games, but a recent press release got us worried when it omitted Wii as a platform. We contacted Telltale and just received word that will upset many Wii-owning fans of Marty McFly's adventures.
Technologies "fundamentally different"
Move and Kinect are two totally different technologies, offering widely varied gameplay experiences: we know this, you know this. Microsoft Game Studios vice president Phil Spencer knows this too, talking up his company's motion sensor ahead of its US launch next week.

Exclusive events for Celestrians
If you haven't experienced Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies in its multiplayer mode, you're missing out. UK residents keen to leap into the game's social side can do so at selected HMV Gamerbase stores in collaboration with Nintendo of Europe.
Not all available at launch
How do you define a launch game? Our definition would be something like "a game available to purchase on the same day new hardware is released", but Microsoft's playing fast-and-loose with the definition with the new phrase "launch portfolio". Major Nelson revealed the 17 titles that will launch for Kinect in November, but didn't provide specific dates for each game.
