Remember GRIN? There was a period in 2009 where virtually every game coming out had their name on it: Bionic Commando, Wanted, Terminator Salvation

News Agonisingly GRIN Are In Big, Big, Big Trouble
It hurts a little to type this
Not only because we know someone who used to work at Swedish outfit GRIN, but also because of the two games they've put out this year, we thought they were both pretty darn good. Bionic Commando was a clever platform-esque shooter. Sure there were issues with the design, but we certainly had fun playing it. Wanted:...

News Bionic Commando Doesn't Quite Zip Kick Itself Into Consumers Palms, Only 27,000 Units Sold
This is a shame
With Wanted: Weapons Of Fate and Terminator Salvation clearly being GRIN's side-show releases, many expected Bionic Commando to be their big seller; especially when they totally reignited the franchise with Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

First Impressions Wanted: Weapons Of Fate on Playstation 3
After initially being wowed by the stylish opening menu screen of Wanted: Weapons Of Fate, we were a little let down by the subpar graphics and the monotony of the gameplay
You can curve your bullets, hide behind cover and sneak up on enemies. And well, that's about all we got to experience really. Hopefully the game picks up a bit in the full...
