Why Robin Makes Batman Better Now that publisher THQ has squeezed the Juiced franchise out of its software line-up, what will become of its developer, Juice Games? Juice’s Colin Bell says to GamesIndustry.biz that the team will soldier on, creating two new titles. Bell says that the axing of the franchise from THQ was “disappointing” but that the team was “working on two very fresh and exciting projects that I can’t discuss but the whole office is buzzing with the work we’ve done here recently.”
We can only hope that the Juice boys go on to generate more product that results in advertising on booty shorts and more “banned” commercials that feature full nudity and the forceful removal of women’s clothing. Our hobby’s teenage boys need third-rate racing games now more than ever!

It would appear that THQ has had its fill of Juiced and Stuntman, as the company announced today that it had decided “not to pursue” the pair of intellectual properties. Both driving games, one of which was acquired from then bankrupt Acclaim, the other from Atari, were part of a $US 27 million hit the publisher was expected to take as part of “quality initiatives”. That charge also includes the nixing of other titles, some announced, some unannounced.
The latest Stuntman in the series, known as Stuntman: Ignition was singled out as one of the company’s underperforming releases of 2007, alongside Ratatouille and Conan. Rest in peace, Stuntman and Juiced. We hardly knew ye (as we didn’t play your games much).
