Previously Wii exclusive 'The Grinder' has gone multiplatform and its utilizing PS3's motion-controller 'Arc'. We've already seen a truly working and impressive demo at E3 '09, see what the devs of Grinder have to say:

"All we can say is we have development kits in-house and it is an amazing device," said HVS CEO Kerry Ganofsky.

"It works exactly as advertised," added chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger.

2) Ape Escape

3) Motion Party

4) Sing and Draw

5) Echochrome

Oh? RE5 still has that feature? What with the delay and stuff I just assumed it wouldn't.

I know LittleBigPlanet has support for it, dunno when they'll patch that in though.

I hate everything there is to do with this motion crap, but as long as i get to see some of the good stuf off the wii get ported for (PSN ?) ps3 i will be happy..

Specially that new FF game, looks arse but would like to see it on a decent machine.

Maybe tell tale will use this to bring me sam and max and monkey island ?

Well the name 'Arc' ain't sticking because they'll get sued into oblivion by Microsoft...

I think i'm more interested in the wand than FF XIII though :P

I'm curious to see it used for some real games. If there is a sword fighting game i'm sold :)

Have to agree with that, but i assume the developers will have thought of something like that. Didn't the e3-prototype have an analog stick on it?

Its in the air by slip of tongue of some Disney employ, the name of the wand is getting to be 'Gem'... which they are saying was the original name suggested for it (that I totally don't know anything about in the first place).
