THQ: Quality of current titles enhanced by recent mass layoffs

The full interview with Bilson is quite notable for how frankly the executive discusses the prior state of the company, which lost $431 million last year. He explains that convincing executives that change was necessary wasn't difficult because THQ was in a "failure state." He also continues to drum home the point that the company is invested in focusing on the quality of its future core titles.

Red Faction is great, I admit. But ehm.. give me another Rogue Squadron and I'll buy your story, Mr. Bilson.

If 550 jobs is what it takes to make Darksiders be awesome, so be it. :P
Maybe they should just stop with the crap games that even 10yos think they're too old for :P

Please note: You can "drum" something up or "drive" something home. But you can't drum something home. K?

Hell yeah, you can.

Due to a clerical error I got a free copy of World Tour.
I STILL can't get into it. The charting and presentation are just too...eck.

I've heard about people who sleepwalk and start typing random shit on the internet and sending crazy emails and such, but I've never seen one.
I take it I can scratch that one of my list of this I thought I'd never see?

How about stopping to paste new features on old engines? I'm looking at you, SmackDown! That's one series that really could use new lifeblood... well, a new engine would do as well, I guess.
