When you release a game that celebrates beatings, shootings, carjackings and other forms
of social mayhem, it had better work properly. If the official forums for Grand Theft Auto IV are
any indication, the programmers at Take-Two and Rockstar North should avoid lingering in
dark alleys for the foreseeable future. [read more]

Video game accessory maker Nyko Technologies Inc. on Monday rolls out its $34.99 Kama
Wireless Nunchuk, which is powered by two AAA batteries and a device that plugs into the
bottom of the Wii remote. The combination allows the left hand to operate without knowing
what the right hand is doing.
This could be a welcome addition for games that require players to use the nunchuk stick for
movement and the remote to dish out attacks. And if the console ever gets a top-notch boxing
game, the Kama could be key to delivering the perfect final uppercut.
A few third-party controllers have appeared since the Wii first arrived in stores in November
2006, most in the form of plastic shells that make the Wii remote feel more like a tennis
racket, fishing pole or golf club.
As more peripheral makers look for inroads into the growing Wii market, Nintendo too is
getting ready to introduce North American players to a new controller. This one looks like
something you'd see at a step aerobics class.
"Wii Fit," to cost $89.99 and arrive in stores in May, will be packaged with a wireless balance
board that senses players' weight and balance.
The game — already a hit in Japan — will guide players through more than 40 aerobic,
strength training, yoga and balance activities and exercises, while letting them set fitness
goals and track their progress.

Owners of Wii game consoles from Nintendo Co. have always
enjoyed the freedom its motion-sensing games offer, but the wire
between the remote and the nunchuk needed for some games
could limit movement.
