Grin Closes - A Black Falcon - 12th August 2009
I haven't played it, but Bionic Commando Rearmed was supposedly really good, this is too bad... but evidently their three big titles, Bionic Commando, Transformers, and Wanted: Weapons of Fate, all did poorly, and they just couldn't stay open.

I first heard of Grin from the demo of their first game, Ballistic for the PC. It's a futuristic tube racing game, and in the normal or hard difficulty had an interesting game model that made you actually think about which part of the tube surface you were on, because you'd be able to make turns much better on some parts of the tube (on the outer edge instead of the inside for example). It also had amazing graphics for the time, very nice stuff. There was a later arcade version of the game as well and I have also played that. So cool...
Anyway, it's always too bad when good developers shut down. :(
