“LIVE THE REVOLUTION” – THQ ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF WWE® ’13

“LIVE THE REVOLUTION” – THQ ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF WWE® ’13

Flagship WWE Videogame Franchise Returns to Provide the Most Authentic, Seamless and Passionate Experience to Date – All While Turning Up the Attitude

Melbourne, VIC. – May 30, 2012 – Last summer, one man revolutionized the current WWE® landscape. In a legendary moment at the end of Monday Night Raw®, WWE Superstar CM Punk® – as the voice of the voiceless – changed everything the world knew about WWE. Through his words and actions, a new leader emerged to set a higher standard, convey a new brand of attitude and ultimately ignite a revolution among the WWE Universe. His mantra? “Best in the world.”

It’s not the first time WWE has seen such rebellion. Nearly 15 years ago, the legendary “Stone Cold” Steve Austin® also revolutionized the WWE realm, sparking a new generation of supporters through his relentless, antihero behavior in one of WWE’s most celebrated time periods: the Attitude Era. Why did it happen? In his words, “’Cause Stone Cold said so.”

Today, a new crusade is on the horizon, and it doesn’t start with an iconic WWE Superstar on television, online or at a live event. THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced development of WWE® ’13, the revolutionary next installment in the WWE flagship videogame franchise. Positioned to offer the most authentic, extensive and fervent experience to date, including the debut of a brand new WWE Live™ audio and presentation system, as well as a single-player campaign based on the highly influential Attitude Era, WWE ’13 is currently in development for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Wii™ system from Nintendo, with a scheduled release date of November 1, 2012 in Australia and November 2 in New Zealand.

“WWE ’13 is certain to ignite our enthusiastic, worldwide fan base and encourage them to live a revolution that simply cannot be ignored,” said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Games, THQ. “WWE Live will bring the impassioned WWE live event experience into the living rooms of consumers, while critical core gameplay improvements and a serious dose of attitude will enable them to experience WWE action like never before.”

“wickedly funny” – Dork Shelf

 TODD  &  THE BOOK OF  PURE EVIL

Imagine, if you will, a book of awesome power. A book that will make  your deepest, darkest desires come true… but at a horrifying cost.
This is The Book of Pure Evil, and it’s loose in Crowley High.  Thankfully, one horny teenager stands between The Book of Pure Evil
and the end of the world, as we know it. His name is Todd. And he  will save our asses – whether he likes it or not.

Todd & the Book of Pure Evil is unlike anything you have seen for a  long time… or ever. It will make you cringe, burst out laughing and have  you looking around the room wide-eyed in astonishment thinking,  “Did that actually just happen?!”

It’s not easy to describe a show like Todd & the Book of Pure Evil –  it needs to be experienced. Whether you call it horror, supernatural,
science fiction or dark comedy – when you strip back the basics, it reflects  a sentiment that just about everyone can relate to…  high school is hell.

The Canadian series stars Alex House (Degrassi: The Next Generation),  Maggie Castle (The Time Traveler’s Wife) and Jay and Silent Bob’s very  own Jason Mewes as ‘Jimmy the Janitor’.

Featuring hilarious special effects, smashing heavy metal, jokes that are dirtier  than a teenage boy’s bedroom and more WTF moments than you could believe,  Todd & the Book of Pure Evil is a real treat.

Consisting of 13 episodes, this unique series will be released on DVD through

Hopscotch/Entertainment One in late 2012.
