As if High Voltage Software didn't have enough Kinect games on the go, what with Nicktoons MLB and Nickelodeon Dance, the studio's creating another licensed game for the sensor in the form of Victorious: Time to Shine.

Based on — you guessed it — a Nickelodeon show, the game lets players act, direct, sing and dance, so it should be just the ticket for parents of precociously talented youngsters. There'll also be "collaborative" two-player modes too, which hopefully means one of you as the director shouting instructions at the other player through a megaphone. It's sounding better all the time.

There's no proposed date for the game just yet, but let us slap a vague "quarter 4 2011" on it with our speculation glasses firmly on.
