According to a rumor report at Kotaku, games industry insiders are reporting that THQ is readying itself for sale by divesting itself of properties as well as cancelling any titles due for release in 2014. The latter includes Warhammer 40K: Dark Millenium Online.
THQ's stock has tumbled from $6.00 per share last year to $0.66 per share currently.
"THQ has not cancelled its 2014 line-up, and has not made any decisions regarding the planned MMO. As part of the ongoing review of our business, we have made decisions to ensure that the company is strategically addressing the most attractive markets. As we have previously announced, we have dramatically reduced our commitment to the kids' boxed games sector which leads to a significantly more focused release schedule moving forward. Our slate for calendar 2012 and beyond is focused on high-quality core games and continues to build our digital platform and business. We are excited for our pipeline of original and high-quality content along with our relationships with some of the best talent in the industry.
The galaxy is burning. The Emperor’s loyal primarchs prepare to do battle with Warmaster Horus and his turncoat Legions on the black sand of Isstvan. Such dark times herald new and yet more terrible things still to come, and when Astropath Kai Zulane unwittingly learns a secret that threatens to tip the balance of the war, he is forced to flee for his life. Alongside a mysterious band of renegades, he plunges into the deadly underworld of Terra itself, hunted like a criminal by those he once trusted. In the face of betrayal, Kai must decide where his own loyalties lie and whether some truths should be buried forever.

Review
Ok, the book has been out since November and I only just finished it today, so sue me, I went on holiday for Christmas and was too busy to read (contrary to belief I do have a life outside gaming and Games Workshop things)
But yeah, finally finished The Outcast Dead, the fourth installment of The Horus Heresy series from Graham McNeill, of which my favourite Horus Heresy novel written by him so far has been Fulgrim and like Fulgrim, The Outcast Dead slowly, but surely gets the reader into the life of the main characters and although it feels slow, makes you care for them.
The Outcast Dead, (spoilers ahead) are a group of "traitor" Space Marines, help in an Imperial prison on Earth, but we are only introduced to them in the last third of the book and thats when all the main action takes place, however unlike other Horus Heresy novels that have, albeit brilliantly, surfed on a wave of action and lore, but The Outcast Dead is purely a character set up and one that works brilliantly and also makes you want to question the regime the Imperium lays down on mankind. A moral tale if ever there was one.
All in all, this is an amazing book to break up the amount of action from other books, especially after The First Heretic that came before and before Deliverance Lost (which I am starting tonight and really looking forward too)
All in all, if you are reading the Horus Heresy novels, you will enjoy this one as much as others. Graham McNeill has done a fantastic characterisation and you really get to know and like the characters, even the not so likable ones like Tagore, the World Eaters Sargeant
All in all, a great read, well worth buying and one to keep and reread in the future! All inmates must read ASAP
Trion World has announced this morning that some changes in subscription pricing have arrived in their popular MMO RIFT. The previous pricing schedule has been done away with, and the new prices will definitely make it easier for players to stay connected to RIFT.
Annual subscriptions are now just $99, for an entire year's worth of playing RIFT without having to worry about choosing a monthly option. The $99 plan equates to just $8.25 per month. The full pricing plan looks like this:
3-Month – $12.99 per month
6-Month – $10.99 per month
Annual – $8.25 per month
Trion also teases that they are working a major game update for RIFT, that should be due out within 'the next several weeks.' Each subscription purchased in January will come with a bonus 30-days of in-game time that goes into effect after your subscription period ends.
Good time to be a RIFT player! For more information on the game and its subscription options, drop by http://www.riftgame.com/.
