THQ promises 2014 slate in spite of redundancies

THQ has confirmed that it has seven titles, including six unannounced titles, scheduled for 2014, in spite of persistent rumours the publisher is foundering.

According to its latest quarterly financial report, released yesterday, Warhammer 40,000 Dark Millennium Online is scheduled for launch in “fiscal 2014 and beyond.” Also scheduled is its collaboration with director Guillermo Del Toro, Homefront 2, a shooter from Turtle Rock, a game led by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets, and four more unannounced core titles.

On the back of uDraw’s poor performance, THQ posted a loss of US $55.9 million this quarter, compared to $14.9 million this time last year.

All Zombies Must Die!

360 REVIEW by Matt Maguire Thursday, 2:25 pm
 
All Zombies Must Die!

It’s hard to know exactly who the intended audience of doublesix’s latest twin-stick light-RPG shooter All Zombies Must Die! is supposed to be.

On one hand, a decent amount of admittedly cartoonish blood and an M rating suggest teenagers ought to be the ones wielding the controller. However, cutesy animation, simple, repetitive play and the weakest attempt at dialogue and story this side of a Barney episode should see most teenagers re-gifting this one to younger siblings faster than they can say “Super-dee-duper!”

Not that Zombies is really terrible enough to warrant being mentioned in the same paragraph as that annoying purple twit. There are plenty of zombies to re-kill – enough that staying put for too long will see them construct a deadly wall of groaning, grabby flesh around the player – and the dispatching of said zombies is fleetingly satisfying. Unfortunately, everything the game does adequately has been done elsewhere, and Zombies suffers terribly by comparison.
