“…So, a goal of ours with The Grinder is to have a fun 4 player cooperative game, where players work together to defeat the monsters, but at the same time, we want there to be something unique and compelling enough about our story, and to have that story work its way into the gameplay. So that if you are using some of the specialty weapons, those actually loan themselves well to using Wii motion controls…Just like we did in The Conduit, where we had weapons that were very specific to the Wii motions, we’ll do the same with The Grinder. But then of course we’ll take it up a notch and use great attachments like Wii motion plus and enhance them even more.” – The Grinder Art Director, Matt Corso
Boy, I’m pumped up about The Grinder…And it’s very far away from releasing.
We posted a video of The Conduit a few days ago, but that was actually the D.C. Monumental trailer. This is the actual launch trailer. For those of you that have the game so far, how do you like it?

Grand Theft Auto has graced Nintendo platforms in the past. The series landed on the Game Boy Advance and most recently, the Nintendo DS. One request that seems to be universal amongst fans, however, is to see a GTA title on the Wii. And now Take-Two has commented on the possibility of that happening.
“Nintendo’s been a terrific partner for us. We always look at ways in which we can bring our games to platforms that make sense for our games. We’re eager to work with Nintendo to bring our games to their platforms. We just haven’t yet defined the right title for the right platform.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two
You might also be interested in knowing that Take-Two doesn’t seem to be disappointed in sales of Chinatown Wars. Better yet, the company isn’t ruling out future GTA titles on the system.
“The DS, typically, has longer legs in the sales cycle. We’re very pleased with how that game is continuing to sell in the market; it will be in the market for a long, long time to come…When we’re ready to announced it, we’ll announce it. Right now Rockstar’s focus is on The Ballad of Gay Tony episode, Red Dead Redemption and Agent.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two
