Although THQ Wireless didn’t disappear completely, its mobile gaming division was redistributed and rationalised, with resources concentrating on high end platforms rather than the mobile market it was previously such a dominant force in.

Mobile Entertainment is reporting that one of the company’s biggest (and most popular) franchises, Worms, could remain on the mobile thanks to a new worldwide licensing deal with EA Mobile.

Presumably this won’t extend to the platforms THQ Wireless now concentrates on, such as the DS, PSP and iPhone, but the mobile has seen huge success with the Worms franchise, so news of a licensing deal would be gratefully received by fans.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
