A year ago now, I posted an article concerning the possibility of a de Blob sequel. Now in 2010, President and CEO of THQ, Brian Farrell, has announced that de Blob will be seeing its return in 2011. Check out the link to read more, including the mention of new stuff for Saints Row, among others, as well.
"Ronimo Games, best known as the development team behind the original version of De Blob, today announced new details surrounding its debut title for WiiWare, Swords & Soldiers. New features such as historical inaccuracy (yes we said that), uncompromising style, some random stuff, and Morefun have been added to the game."
"When we presented the NPD data to THQ for comment, a spokesperson for the company indicated that de Blob's solid American sales beginnings are only half the story. "We're pleased with de Blob's performance worldwide," the rep noted. "It's a great intellectual property and you can tell your readers to expect to see more of de Blob in the future.""
"Today, 2nd January 2009, is the ninth day of Christmas.

Hold onto your hats, its going to be bumpy from here-on out!"

Most of the list is a listing of the most popular games around, however, some are quite surprising.

"Dead Space (Oct 31, 360/PS3/PC)
Dead Space feels eerily similar to Aliens, but the introductory trailer and our first hands-on demonstrated a level of suspense, mood, and intensity we haven't seen in a while. The premise: the entire crew of a deep space mining ship has gone missing, and it's up to you, the sole survivor, to rid the vessel of alien baddies. It should be noted that EA's survival horror only marginally beat out Left 4 Dead (360/PC), the fast-paced Zombie Killer by Valve with ..."
