After mixed critical responses and contrary to what many expected, the first person shooter published by THQ has passed the “key break-even level”. According to Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian, with an unexpected figure of 2.4 million units sold the game has now surpassed the level which makes it profitable for the publishing company THQ. Homefront also sets some records for the current year, becoming the best-selling console debut of 2011. The game has sold 375 thousand units in the US in its first day and holds the pole position in the UK charts.
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.
Good!
