ugh. Cry me a river. People who are saying THQ didn't try with their titles are just bitching for no reason. There were a lot of advertisements for de Blob and it was pretty hyped as well. It outsold the Nintendo first party effort that came out the exact day that de Blob came out.

I don't see a lot of whining about de Blob. Deadly Creatures is a different story though.

It's ok, men can cry to! Just make sure no one sees you.

I edited my post. But if you think about it from this perspective, de Blob was an easy sale. The way the game was shown in commercials was easy to market. Deadly Creatures would have been a harder sale. I do agree that with some advertising, it might have done better, but at the same time I'm not sure it would have helped enough to make the game profitable. 

I think THQ did a good job with de Blob, and it sold well. THQ should be happy with it as well, or else I don't think we would see any sequel to it at all. Going multiplatform is a great way to expand the franchise and it may be necessary to place de Blob among the bigger platformers.

As long as both Wii and HD owners get a quality be Blob game I see no reason to complain.

 

About Deadly Creatures, well, it obviously was a tough sale being a new IP and a game about bugs. I think it would've been hard to sell that even on the PS2.
