THQ has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. But do we really know who THQ is? Really, have you ever sat in your bed, late at night and wondered to yourself, "who is THQ?" No? Well ... it doesn't matter because now it will never happen. Thanks to Joystiq's ongoing Family Album series you won't have to stay up kicking yourself for not knowing the development team behind the licensed Ratatouille game. You're welcome.

THQ may not have the greatest press at the moment. OK, fine, its press has been really bad of late. But, let's take a step back to remember that there are real hard-working studios which make up this publisher. It's time to flip through the virtual pages of the company's family album and find out what studios are under the THQ bumbershoot.

(Feel free to check out our other family albums.)

Our cruel compatriots over at Joystiq have posted a new Family Album, this time for the new biggest publisher in the business, Activision. Just what the hell is a family album you ask? Joystiq started the Family Album series to highlight just which developers belong to which publishers. Sure, most of us are familiar with Activision studios like Bizarre Creations and Infinity Ward (though the former is a recent acquisition), but did you know that Activision also houses the minds behind classics like The Horde and Star Control? Follow the "read" link to see what makes Activision tick (apart from endless iterations of Call of Duty and Guitar Hero).

Thanks to a pending merger with Blizzard, the Activision family is going to be growing in the near future, but a look at its current development resources reveals that the company already has a pretty diverse galaxy of stars. With such a variety, how will you ever keep track of all the devs under the Activision bumbershoot? Worry not, dear reader.

We've got you covered.

It's no secret that Electronic Arts has had its eye on Take-Two Interactive lately, but a purchase of the company means a lot more than logos and IPs.

What follows is an examination of the development resources under the Take-Two umbrella. Take a look, you may just be surprised how big that bumbershoot is. For instance, were you aware that that there are more than eight Rockstars? No? Well, what are you wasting your time here for?

It's time to get educated.
