THQ has acquired a slew of rights from Mattel in a deal that we are hoping can lead to only one thing...a new Masters of the Universe game.  Sure they have lot's of other brands like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Barbie but all of those other things can take a back seat to our one true hero. He-Man.

"We are excited to work hand-in-hand with the world's No. 1 toy company to bring a new level of entertainment to its already incredibly popular brands," said Martin Good, THQ's Executive Vice President of Kids, Family and Casual Games. "As we have shown with the combination of uDraw and Pictionary, there is enormous potential for the strategic relationship between THQ and Mattel. Through video games, we can build on some of the most famous and classic toy properties in the world, as well as unlock the entertainment potential of the newest creations from Mattel."

Yeah yeah, that's all well and good Martin. I'm sure we all can't wait for a Pictionary game using the Ps Move, but you do know that we haven't had a Masters of the Universe game since the original xbox right? And one can argue that we maybe never had a really good He-Man game. So I want you to march back there and make me a good He-Man game! chop chop!

And it better have cutscenes that looks like this!

    There was a Masters of the Universe for the PS2 made a couple of years ago, actually. I forget who developed and published it, but I swear to the lord of fuck I saw it on the PS2 shelf at Gamestop a few months ago.

    THQ tends to make good games, so call me cautiously optimistic.

    So, are you telling me you want them to make a Move compatible He-Man game that would play somewhat like that gladiator game in Sports Champion with a special transformation move that utilizes something like a rage or magic gauge, having you wield the Move up above your head and shouting to the PS Eye's built-in Microphone

    "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!"

    or something like that?

    ...Because oddly, I'd totally play it and make myself look like a freaking fool just for kicks.
