the AKI series of wrestling games were mint.... its a tragedy they switched to Yuke`s and got engulfed in all that Mo-Cap garbage. Hand drawn is the way to go. But, this allows the studio to have too much artistic expression i guess.
The AKI games sold world wide. The Yuke`s WWE series only sells to NA and parts of Europe and maybe a bit of Australia.
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, WWF No Mercy, and WCW v. nWo World Tour are the best rasslin games every made. i have fond memories of that old web site rasslinvideogames.com

there was a guy in my neighbourhood who used Hollywood Hogan in "WCW v. nWo World Tour".. and no one could escape that knockout close line. we spent hours and days and weeks and months trying to figure out how to take down "Hollywood" it was fucking epic.
I thought this was an interesting articles about troubles at the THQ studio that was making Home Front. They had developed the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942. link
THQ didn't file on the deadline.. and here is why...
" In connection with the Company’s Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), which was amended pursuant to Amendment Number One dated July 23, 2012 (collectively, as so amended, the “Credit Facility”), on November 7, 2012, the Company was informed by Wells Fargo that loan availability on the Credit Facility was less than 12.5% of the maximum revolver amount on one or more occasions as of and after the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, and accordingly, one or more events of default have occurred under the terms of the Credit Facility, including the failure to comply with financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company is currently in discussions with Wells Fargo regarding the asserted defaults and believes that it will reach an agreement with Wells Fargo with respect to such defaults. Wells Fargo has continued to fund requests from the Company after September 30, 2012 while Wells Fargo and the Company attempt to reach an agreement. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve an agreement with Wells Fargo. "
I'd love to see THQ on an episode of "Operation Repo".

AKI was fucking awesome.
I preferred WCW/NWO Revenge. Very good memories with that game and probably my fav THQ game to date haha.

it'll be interesting to see if CoH2 gets released.. and if it does , what kind of post sales support is provided.
Someone is just going to buy up everything and continue to develop/release titles that are in progress. Near-complete games like CoH2 will definitely be released, they are the parts of the company with value that someone will be paying for. Other titles that are early in development/unannounced might suffer, but things like CoH2 will definitely be released by whoever buys THQ's assets.
Seems all the more hilarious that I got a free copy of Metro for liking a facebook page haha. Advertising the brands for the liquidatation I guess - I wonder who's gonna buy up the IP?
