GRIN no more

GRIN is no more, according to a sobering message from GRIN founders Bo and Ulf Andersson on the company’s official web site. GRIN’s most recent works include Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando: Rearmed for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, and Terminator: Salvation.

I’m personally thankful for Bionic Commando: Rearmed, which was a fairly decent recreation of the original NES game I loved so much. Full statement from GRIN after the break.
