The news around THQ just keeps on getting worse and worse but in this latest batch of bad news there is a glimmer of hope. Or at least some revenge on the people responsible for this epic failure. We reported yesterday that THQ was about to cull 170 people from it’s workforce and could face delisting but it’s worse than that.THQ has now announced that it ... [»]
There’s more bad news from THQ. Not only has the company’s share price plummeted so badly it faces stock exchange delisting, but it seems its also just sacked a substantial section of its workforce.Rumours have abounded for ages that the company was in dire straits and that it was culling its staff; rumours the the publisher and developer vehemently denied. In a report by Eurogamer, ... [»]
THQ’s been getting quite a lot of bad press at the moment around it’s rumoured imminent closing and that it possibly killed off it’s entire 2014 release slate. It’s continuously denied these rumours but at the same time it’s share price is tanking badly and bad press isn’t ... [»]
Last week we posted up the story of an industry insider publicly stating that THQ will be closed or sold before June and during that article I took a look at their stock price and was horrified. How could a company allow itself to plummet that badly ... [»]
In life, there are only two certainties, Death and Taxes. And while I’m hoping that we’ll see a Darksiders 3 that includes the Horseman of Tax, complete with an auditing death-grip and Income tax sword, we’ll just have to settle for Death himself when Darksiders 2 rolls around.
It’s another trailer showing the grim horseman in ... [»]
Back in 2010, Darksiders debuted, and was a smash-hit with gamers worldwide, especially thanks to the hulking actions of the main protagonist, War. Imagine if Link from the Legend of Zelda had grown up on a course of steroids and Hulk Hogan movies, and you’d have a pretty good idea what the character was capable of.
Of course, his fists could only get him so far ... [»]
Roughly 22 hours ago the Twitterverse exploded when Kevin Dent sent out a tweet stating that THQ was about to cancel MMO War Hammer.
Kevin’s a veteran industry analyst and this little tweet has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry as he followed it up with some more interesting statements.Never mind cancelling ... [»]
2010 saw the debut of one my very favourite new games, Darksiders. It was if the Legend of Zelda had gone out with the God of War franchise, got unbelievably drunk, and then woke up the following morning with a crippling hangover and a bad case of morning sickness.
In short, the bastard child of all the great action adventure and dungeon crawling ... [»]
There’s an unwritten rule in game development; if you’re tasked with creating a game that’s tied to a blockbuster movie - particularly a movie aimed at younger audiences - you have to go out of your way to make a game that’s dull, lazy and only loosely tied to your source material. It’s been that way since ET for the Atari 2600, largely ... [»]
Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night Lazygamer, the longest running episodic reviewing site in history. We’ve got a great line-up tonight, and a main event that features the latest WWE game in a no holds barred, last man standing review match.
But can the long-running competitive franchise emerge victorious tonight, or is this match over before it even begins? Ring the bell and let’s find out.WWE ... [»]
Saints Row 3 is a fantastic title, built around the idea of inflicting senseless violence in as much bad taste as possible. If you’re not busy using a gigantic sex toy to wack pedestrians into paste, then you’re probably using various other methods to deal with enemies, from which there are plenty. The Saints Row ... [»]
The Saints Row franchise, despite its multiple differences and gaudy exterior, has always been dogged by GTA clone accusations and criticism that it doesn’t truly innovate the sandbox genre that it sets its madcap antics in.
With a third game released now, the time to boldly go into a signature direction is now or never, but can the gangstars of the Saints Row universe ... [»]
It gets released in the US today, but the rest of us have to wait until Friday to enjoy just about the craziest, open world game ever conceived; Saint’s Row The Third. While the recent GTA V announcement trailer’s gotten gamers in a frenzy, it’s Saint’s Row and its irreverence where I’ll be getting my sandbox kicks.
“There’s no way to describe Saints Row: The ... [»]
Saints Row the Third has yet to even release, but that doesn’t mean that THQ isn’t working on a sequel already for their potential blockbuster game. Speaking to G4, THQ Executive VP Danny Bilson elaborated on what the studio and publisher had up their sleeves for the next game to feature those wacky gangsters."Like any game, if you have a great creative core ... [»]
Saints Row the third is almost upon us, and the title looks like a mountain of crazy, ultra-violent fun, with nary a sombre theme to be seen in its narrative so far. Its this very disregard for anything serious that has made the franchise so popular, with THQ Core Games boss Danny Bilson explaining that the market is ripe for an open-world genre ... [»]
