Grease: The Video Game coming to Wii
Looks like some studios have finally run out of things to make video games about — 505 Games and Paramount Digital have just released a statement detailing their intentions to release a Nintendo Wii title based on Grease the movie.
Grease: The Video Game is reportedly a singing, dancing party gme that uses a microphone in addition to the Wii motion controller. 505 Games’ president Adam Kline had this to say:
“The ‘Grease’ movie is a timeless pop culture icon, and 505 Games is eager to bring the first interactive experience based on the film to fans around the world. We’re looking forward to working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to put players in the middle of all the fun with this all-new video game.”

GameStop listing confirms Guitar Hero: Van Halen before Activision
Here we go again — Joystiq recently noticed that GameStop’s website had a listing for Guitar Hero: Van Halen up for a small period for time. After being discovered, the listing was quickly pulled with no reasoning explained.
See now this is all find and dandy except for one thing, Activision hasn’t said anything at all about Guitar Hero: Van Halen. However, we all know that Activision loves milking the Guitar Hero franchise for all it’s worth so it would make sense that they would come out with another band themed game, right? I mean, there’s a Guitar Hero: Metallica and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith so why not Guitar Hero: Van Halen?
Before it was pulled, the listing had the game set for an August 4th release on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, and Wii. Now let’s just wait for Activision’s official announcement.
