I've got something to say. It's better to burn out, than to fade away! I'm glad THQ really turned themselves around in recent years in quality. It's a crying shame that so few people bothered with a lot of their games. Myself included. I was focused on other things though... Anyway, I'm picking stuff up now. Here's hoping Darksiders can get saved. I mean, the whole "feel" of that series is very death metal, and sometimes I think the creators aren't quite self aware enough of exactly what their characters look like and take themselves just a bit too seriously, but it's good fun.
Saints Row suffered the indignity of not being Grand Theft Auto, and for that it must pay the ultimate price, unfortunately. That's a shame, because Saints Row realizes just how ridiculous the storyline of a Grand Theft Auto is, and Rockstar still thinks they are making a video game version of The Godfather (where one guy can take on the entire army, because realism).
I'm glad I picked up that bundle back when. I heard it sold shockingly well for THQ, making them a lot of money, but it appears it wasn't enough to save them. That said, if they had to split it up, I hope whatever company makes things like the video game versions of all those Disney Channel sitcoms is the first to die. The shows aren't funny, and the games are lame. I don't need to play them or find reviews either. If even one of those was actually good, it would light up the internet with shock and awe and recommendations. The biggest reference I've seen instead is Penny Arcade "recommending" it as a bulk purchase for Child's Play, which, I dunno, is generous and the games themselves are really cheap so a lot can be bought, but at some point, maybe sick and dying kids might like GOOD games being donated to them, ya know?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
