Since THQ is leaving us forever, I've decided to make a video dedicated to all the games both good and bad that they've brought to us. Each box art image takes up only five seconds and without fade transition included in between each image, the video is about a little over four minutes. I've only included games that I myself have either seen or played. I want to make it longer so if anyone would like to help with the THQ memorial video, all you have to do is search any games made by THQ. There's a wikipedia list but it is incomplete. I've actually found a title not featured in the list (WWF Betrayal). It does not matter if the games were good or bad, just worth mentioning.
Here's a list of what is so far planned to put in the video. If you would like to add a game, please list the title and the platform it was for.
A Bug's Life (Game Boy Color)

Games like Conker were not made by THQ, Rare owns that series. The games you should be listing are the games the company owns themselves or subsidiaries own like the Darksiders series.

On one hand, I should thank THQ for getting STALKER released; on the other hand, I'm a bit upset that they forced the game to be rushed to completion, leaving out most of the features that had me excited about the game in the first place.

And to the guy above, yeah, I think THQ published way more games than they actually developed.

Publisher for the European Version. Still counts I think. I even managed to find the right box art used for the EU Version. It has the THQ logo and everything.

Damn, after going through it there is a lot of crap they published.

Thanks. I found several Game Boy titles I used to have.

This thread has been up for a while, but now that I think about it, it's really a shame that the people who published the Saint's Row games and Red Faction Guerrilla went under. Had a lot of fun with those games, I really did.

Don't worry, there's still plenty of time to say what games you remember THQ the most for before I start making the video. Late May or early June; it'll be on YouTube.

Why hold a memorial for a publisher? Aren't they generally the "bad guys" that stump creativity?

I didn't even know they published the cult classic Gothic, and it's one of my all time favorite games.

Not ALL publishers are bad. I don't know if THQ was evil or not but I'm pretty sure there are even worse publishers out there.

Well, I can not actually find the European box cover for this one. Oh well.

You might want to specify that in the video then. Sure, people will call you on it either way, but at least you can't say you didn't do your research.

As for a list of games, the only games I consciously know THQ had a hand in producing was the Nicktoons series. Otherwise, I've seen the logo in some of the games I have, but can't recall which ones at the moment.

I've received plenty of requests as well as some titles I've had and watched as well as some I didn't know I've had and seen.

1 box cover equals 5 seconds.

Without the fade transitions, the box cover total reaches past 6 minutes. Keep 'em coming!

I'm mainly pissed that South Park : Stick of Truth got delayed with the Ubisoft take-over.

Don't remind me. I just hope Matt and Trey make sure they don't ruin it.
