It doesn’t even have to be a newBanjo-Kazooie,Viva Pinata, orPerfect Dark— just something that uses a standard gamepad, not motion controls.

Today on a Take-Two investor conference call, it was confirmed that Rockstar is still hard at work on two titles,Max Payne 3and the all-but-forgottenAgent. No further status updates or any sort of release window was given for either game, merely a reminder that they’re coming so we don’t think that Rockstar doesn’t care about us.
