    Default 2 games banned in Pakistan/Two companies going bankrupt

    There has been reports that Pakistan has banned "Call of Duty II" and "Medal of Honor:Warfighter". You can check out the two reports here:

    Other news, THQ and Atari have filed for Bankruptcy selling some of their titles/rights for Pong, Homefront, South Park stick of truth, WWE license, Saints Row, Atari's logo and others. South Park Studios is currently in battle with THQ. THQ signed a legal agreement with South Park Studios to use their characters, voices and environments for "South Park:Stick of Truth" but now with THQ going bankrupt, they are including the game in the auction. Of course South Park Studios is fighting them for the game not to be sold at the auction, rumor has it that WB games are looking to buy some of THQ's property. So we might see Stick of Truth released by WB Games.

    Update since the THQ auction has ended:

    Relic - purchased by Sega for $26 million
    Volition - purchased by Koch Media for $22.3 million
    Evolve (IP) - purchased by Take-Two for $11 million
    Metro (IP) - purchased by Koch Media for $5.8 million
    South Park (IP) - purchased by Ubisoft for $3.2 million
    THQ Montreal - purchased by Ubisoft for $2.5 million
    Homeland (IP) - purchased by Crytek for $500,000

    This is according to "The Escapist" website on who purchased what at the THQ bankruptcy auction. I did read somewhere (which I am currently looking for), that Saints Row was picked up by the company who owns Deep Silver (the company behind Dead Island), Ubisoft purchased the Homefront franchise and the WWE License was picked up by EA. I will continue to look for that article but THQ is no longer from what I am reading.
