Torrance, Calif., (May 22, 2009) –XSEED Games today announced that JU-ON: The Grudge is in development for Wii and scheduled for release in North America in October, 2009. The title is inspired by the Japanese classic horror movie, “JU-ON”, on which the American release of the hit horror film “The Grudge” was based upon. JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii is a “Haunted House Simulator” where accessibility and instant scares are given priority over all other game aspects, with the original creator of the movie, Takashi Shimizu, serving as a creative consultant to game development.
It is said that when a person dies with a deep and burning grudge, a curse is born. When an average housewife in Nerima, Japan, was murdered in a grisly fashion, it gave rise to a curse so powerful that it threatens to kill at a pace thought unimaginable before.

City of Industry, CA., (May, 2009) – For years we’ve been personalizing out favorite handheld game devices, iPod™’s and laptops with custom decals. But the fact is most decals quickly bubble, peal and fade in a very short time. Now Innex has announced the launch of Exo-Flex Skins which have been engineered with RapidAir® Technology by Orajet to eliminate air bubbles and significantly extend the life of the decal.
Exo-Flex Skins, which will debut at E3 2009, conform perfectly to any surface. Injected with three layers of resistant material, Exo-Flex Skins wont fade, tear, or stretch, require no squeegee and can be reapplied to any surface.
