High Voltage: The Grinder is still alive

High Voltage Software has declared that its long-forgotten shooter, The Grinder, is still alive and waiting for a publisher. If you can’t remember what it is, it’s a first-person shooter for the Wii that’s also a third-person shooter for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. It features four-player co-op and it’s about vampires, which makes it different from Left 4 Dead.

According to level designer Eric Stoli, the game is on “vertical slice status” and the studio isn’t quite sure what the final product is going to be like. Apparently High Voltage is waiting to see if it’ll need to change the game — like add more action or RPG elements — in order to make publishers happy, and that’s why we haven’t seen it in a while.

Rock Band DLC: OK Go, The Police, and War

Because PAX East is invading its home turf of Boston, Massachusetts, Harmonix is announcing next week’s Rock Band 3 downloadable content a week early. Are you ready for it? Here we go:

  • OK Go – “Shooting the Moon”
  • The Police – “So Lonely”
  • The Police – “Every Breath You Take”
  • War – “Spill the Wine”

All songs will run you the usual $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii points. The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” can be upgraded for Pro Guitar/Pro Bass for an additional 99 cents. Good choice for Pro Guitar, I’d think, as the main riff is a slow-but-decent exercise for your fingers.

Picking up anything next week?
