Saints Row 3 will be hitting sometime before March 2012 (that narrows it down Read More ...
THQ has announced Metro 2034, a sequel to Metro 2033. It will be available in 3D thanks to the publisher saving money by developing the game in Kiev, Ukraine. Metro 2033 was released on the PC and 360, but platforms for the sequel haven’t been announced yet.

THQ has announced that de Blob 2: The Underground will be released in spring 2011 on the DS, Wii, PS3 and 360. The 360 and PS3 versions will support 3D. de Blob 2 doesn’t seem to do much different than the original but that’s not a bad thing.
