| THQ titles are being auctioned off today (Posted on 1/22/13 at 2:10 pm)
The big question is obviously who winds up with Homefront, AJF?
Also, South Park Studios objecting to the sale of Stick of Truth. Wonder if this will delay the release.

ETA: In honor of them going Bankrupt you can get 19 of their games on Amazon for $25

Isn't Homefront 2 being done by Crytek on Cryengine 3?

THQ was still the publisher and owns the title though.

it was rumored Xbox was going to work with THQ on homefront2, making it an exclusive, to compete with COD.
Guess that never amounted to anything.

Saints Row and Homefront would be pretty interesting for someone to pick up. Warhammer as well. I was never into the Red Faction games though.
I hope this doesn't delay the new Company of Heroes and Metro too much

Don't tell anyone, our secret, but I have a slight interest in hoamfrunt 2 if its being done on the crytek engine.
I really enjoyed Crisis 2

I hope a publisher picks up Relic, pretty sad that they are at the whims of THQ bankruptcy. CoH2 please be OK!

I dabbled in the multiplayer, it was fun since each side and sub-teams had different build strategies. fricking chokepoints and bridges were always my undoing.

I wonder if this effects company of heroes 2. I believe this is a THQ title.

Any of those games in the bundle worth buying? The price seems fantastic, just not familiar with any of the titles

If you don't have any of them then I would consider it a must buy. You will easily get $25 worth of play time out of them, imo.

THQ intellectual properties have been sold to various bidders today at action with SEGA picking up Relic; Koch Media purchasing Volition and the Metro franchise; Crytek nabbing Homefront; Take-Two and “unannounced game” called Evolve, and Ubisoft purchased THQ Montreal and Obsidian’s South Park game.
How did Sega buy shite with them declairing bankruptcy too?
