Megamind: Ultimate Showdown has been released by THQ to accompany the movie; the game is set after the events of the movie, so it is perhaps a title you would want to play after watching the movie. Megamind the super-intelligent blue alien in the game is now the hero but the Doom Syndicate has made a mess of his lair so he goes on a mission to locate Tighten to bring him to justice.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
