THQ Wireless bringing games to webOS, Obi-Wan senses a great disturbance in the Force

Obi-Wan senses a disturbance in the force...

In a tweet loaded with implications of epic proportions, iPhone developer THQ Wireless has let it be known that they’re in the process of porting some of their games to webOS with the magic of the PDK. While there are undoubtedly many developers doing the same, it’s what’s inside THQ’s portfolio that has us excited: Star Wars. Specifically, THQ is the group that brought Star Wars: Trench Run (video after the break) and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to iOS. Oh, and Battle for Hoth, Cantina, several graphic novels, sound boards, and the official lightsaber app.

THQ also has developed a number of other games for iOS, including a flying house from Disney’s Up, an Indiana Jones soundboard, and a handful of custom games like Chop Sushi! and De Blob. Will we be excited to see THQ’s apps when they arrive in the App Catalog? Did William Shatner wear a bad toupee? Sorry, wrong franchise…

PalmDear Santa,

I know you’re a busy guy and I really should have sent you this letter much earlier, but I know that if anybody could pull off the “Christmas miracle,” it’s you. I’ve tried my best to be a good blogger this year. I know sometimes I’ve aggravated my readers, but I said what I said because I thought it needed to be said. That’s being a good boy, right?

Anyway, I hope that you get this list before you take off from your North Pole base of operations. Below is a list of what I’d really really really like to see on Christmas morning. If it’s not there, I understand, but if it is I promise to be extra good next year. I’m not trying to be greedy, I just want you to know that there’s a lot of stuff that would make me happy. Snow, though one of those things, does not count in the gift tally.
