If No One Wants It, Why Are We Stealing It?

by Rainier on Aug. 10, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

We just came back from a Kalypso press event, where we saw/played Tropico 4, Dungeons: The Dark Lord, Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, and Air Conflicts: Secret Wars. We'll have some coverage on those later on, so keep an eye out.

It seems THQ is in some hot water, putting Red Faction and MX vs. ATV on ice and closing studios left and right, while heavily banking on titles like Space Marine and Saints Row. I rather enjoyed the latest Red Faction game, so I'm not sure why it didn't sell as well, but I'm not entirely convinced that those two latter titles will save the day.
