For those pining for a time when wrestling games took themselves a little less seriously than then do today, THQ served up just the thing. WWE All Stars pooled a roster
of wrestler favourites past and present to settle scores the only way they know how: arcade-style wrestling matches packed with crowd-pleasing special moves and excessively garish showmanship All Stars’ over-the-top mix made more than £1 million on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the UK. THQ paid just $200,000 for the San Diego studio and all its assets when it bought it from Midway in 2009. Sadly, as this Develop 100
neared completion, and in spite of the team’s success with WWE All Stars, the studio was closed down by THQ.
