By extending our brands to other media, we build huge awareness and momentum for our games."

One of the most acclaimed video game titles of 2008 and one of the true breakout Wii hits of that year, de Blob(R) presents the adventures of the lovable yet edgy title character who must save the world from an oppressive monochrome future.

Syfy will initially focus its de Blob(R) development efforts on webisodes, television and consumer products. THQ plans to publish new games based on de Blob across multiple gaming platforms in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.

The THQ property development strategy will be managed by Alan Seiffert, Senior Vice President Syfy Ventures, Syfy's portfolio of media and non-media businesses which transcend the television screen and leverages the deep affinity the Syfy audience has with the most main stream and profitable genre world-wide.

This deal offers us tremendous opportunities to further our connection with our audience and build relationships for our brand with new audiences, such as kids, through the unique way we plan to approach and develop properties with THQ across multiple channels."
