Like Maniac Mansion, Ron Gilbert’s latest foray into adventure gaming starts with picking three characters out of a possible seven. The Cave gives off every appearance of being a throwback to the glory days of LucasArts, before the downfall of the point-and-click and the Star Wars prequels, and in many ways, it hits its mark. But, it’s missing one important thing that helped make games like Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island memorable: a story.

The THQ many of us once knew and loved is dead. Has been for some time now actually, but now its games and assets are up for auction, or will be on January 22. Saints Row, Metro, Darksiders, Red Faction, Warhammer, Homefront… all these and more will soon go up for auction, and the list of potential buyers is growing. At least five publishers are interested in purchasing the bankrupt company’s intellectual properties when they’re auctioned off on a “title-by-title” basis. Currently, that list includes Double Fine (Brutal Legend, The Cave), Electronic Arts (Dead Space, Battlefield), and Warner Bros. (F.E.A.R., Injustice: Gods Among Us), among others.

It’s important to remember that this shouldn’t affect development of these titles, all of which are already well underway at their respective developers. THQ owned and published the IPs, but because it isn’t around to publish anymore those titles are being sold to interested publishers. You should still get your Saints Row 4 and Metro: Last Light, it just won’t have that snazzy new THQ logo in front of it.
