Two sites reveal canceled THQ game: Stormbirds [update]

We knew that THQ's financial turmoil last year led to the unceremonious execution of a few of their in-development titles, but the extent of the damage still isn't fully known to those outside of the company. Recently, two different sources confirmed one of the games that was given the ax --
a flying action game titled Stormbirds, which was being developed by the
recently "realigned" THQ-owned studio Juice Games.
In addition to
an opening cinematic for the game (captures from which are located in the gallery below) which was uploaded by CGI company Realtime:UK, tons of renders and gameplay details were recently posted to the personal blog of former Juice Games environmental artist Greg Calvert. Said blog post has since vanished, but not before our eagle-eyed PC-centric sister site Big Download
grabbed the images. Shame, really -- it looks kind of neat.
