Thanks for clearing that up but I found what I was thinking about. It's also the name of a CD from Dire Straights a long time ago. I knew I remembered seeing that name before. I have the CD and totally forgot about it.

Excepts from IGN Interview
IGN: Have you been following Metroid Prime 3? Because people have been saying it really nails FPS controls on the Wii.
Reed: We have absolutely been following it. Every time the tiniest bit of press about Metroid would come out we'd grab it and we'd ask Gearbox and Ubisoft to talk to Nintendo and see what information we could get about what they were doing. And they have the Z-targeting, the same sort of thing Zelda started. We looked at that and thought about putting it in. But BiA is about tactics. It's about slow and careful movements, ordering your troops to go to the right spot. So circle strafing doesn't really have a place in WWII. It feels goofy. We put it in and tried it out. But it doesn't feel like WWII anymore when you're circle strafing.
But what we ended up doing in the grenade interface -- if you throw with the Wiimote you pull your cursor off the screen, and your character is looking all over the place… Again, playing on that slower paced, more tactical gameplay, we made it so you place your grenades in space by pointing. So you can pop out of cover and point where you want your grenade to go, then go back into cover and throw with your dominant hand. And once you've placed it the game switches to circle strafe so you can move around a little bit of cover. And that worked really, really well.
IGN: And it includes levels from previous BiA games, yes?
Reed: A lot of the content will be familiar. But we are really building this game for the Wii gamer, not the guy that played it on Xbox before. It's a different type of person that owns a Wii, we think, than the Halo player on Xbox.
IGN: What about multiplayer?
Reed: It's not included.
IGN:Have you done anything new with the weapons?
Reed: We've put a lot of work into simulating the scope of a sniper rifle well on the Wii. It's a pretty different scheme than the standard FPS on consoles. So we're actually drifting the scope across the screen. When you go into iron sights, which is the development term we use for pulling the gun up to aim more carefully, we actually change the cursor movement. We assume the user at that point is trying to do something more precise. So we incorporate a little less smoothing and a little more precision in the movement. All of the guns got a new iron sights treatment.
