Split-Screen: "With the recent closure of GRIN, developers of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for PC and Capcom's Bionic Commando, many assets and revelations have come to light. Another one to recently come up are questions regarding the other cancelled project 'Cult'.

"Some would argue that the Gamefly 'most queued' should be taken with a grain of salt. Generally, it is apparent that the Xbox 360 is the most common rental platform that absolutely skews the results. In addition, one could argue that a title that appears near the top of the list is there because it is worth a rental versus a purchase. With that being said, it is still a decent gauge on the level of interest for a particular game.

For the week of March 31, 2009, the recently released Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PS3, Xbox 360) takes the top spot on the cross-platform Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Following close behind is Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360). Once again, MadWorld is at the top of the Nintendo Wii Queue as well...

"Swedish developers Grin, who have just finished work on Wanted: Weapons of Fate (due out next week), and are in submission phase on Bionic Commando and Terminator Salvation, have started work on three new projects already Grin's CEO Bo Andersson told Gamereactor.

MTV Multiplayer writes: "'I'm really into outperforming. I succeed and I don't succeed in different in areas. I'm not saying I'm God of gaming or anything. I really enjoy trying to beat people at their own game, analyzing everything to s–t, really. That's all I do. I record everything and break everything down. If I play a game that has good weapons, I time everything. I have Excel sheets and movie clips, so that f–g gun? [I ask myself] why is it good? Why is it good? Because if I understand why, then I have that in my toolbox. I create my own toolbox, so when I make games, I can use that toolbox.'"

While digging through the supplemental features I stumbled upon a handful of unlockable codes tucked away in not-so-obvious locations. This was an unexpected surprise as there is no mention of these codes on the packaging."

The codes, where to find them and what they do are spelled out in the article.
