There’s something to be said about the painting market. Give someone with the right amount of inspiration a canvas to draw on and the proper tools, and they can create just about anything they see fit. Surprisingly enough, not a lot of game companies have “gotten” this concept, despite the fact that Mario Paint remains one of the brighter spots in the SNES game library (probably because of that nifty SNES mouse peripheral). But THQ is looking to alleviate all that this holiday season with the uDraw tablet, a wireless variation of a device they introduced last year for the Nintendo Wii. This time around, you merely use it like a typical Xbox 360 controller, without the need to connect it via hard wiring. This gives you a little more freedom to draw with it, which is always a nice thing.
Gameplanet: THQ, the publisher of games such as Saints Row, WWE, and Company of Heroes, is no more. James Cullinane revisits the five games that finally capsized the company.
GamerTell investigates the uDraw GameTablet to see how much it would cost you to pick one up today, should you feel like honoring THQ's demise by buying a completely unnecessary peripheral.

I'll just wait for the WiiU
