Last year’s de Blob found a squishy, colorful place in all of our hearts and, more importantly, sold enough copies to make THQ keen on a sequel. Speaking to IGN, a representative for the publisher expressed pleasure at de Blob’s performance worldwide, promising that we can “expect to see more of de Blob in the future.” We’ll hold you to that, THQ.

Something else of interest in IGN’s article: NPD data shows that de Blob sold 230,000 copies in North America between September 22 and the end of 2008, whereas Wario Land: Shake It! moved only 150,000 copies in the exact same period. de Blob isn’t just a third-party “core” success — it’s even outsold a rival title from Nintendo!

THQ has treated us to another round of screens of Deadly Creatures doing their thing (their thing being: appearing deadly). If we were to evaluate these shots on their ability to make our skin crawl, we can safely say they’re a success. Well done, Rainbow Studios!

There’s also something we haven’t seen a lot of in Deadly Creatures media so far: humans. We knew they were always going to be there — Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper obviously weren’t brought in to play the role of a scorpion or something — but this is the first time we’ve seen much of them. The role of humans in Deadly Creatures? To be watched. Eek.
