Next Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz/) is reporting that THQ has formed a new studio called Incinerator Games who's remit will be to focus on development for next generation consoles.

You can read more here (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3440&Itemid=2).

Based in Carlsbad, CA., Incinerator is comprised of veterans of the Twisted Metal, NFL GameDay and MLB 2006: The Show projects from Sony's 989 studios, as well as the Midnight Club franchise from Rockstar. Incinerator is primarily focused on development for next generation consoles.

"The addition of Incinerator Games is another example of our dedication to enhance and expand our internal development capabilities," said Jack Sorensen, executive vice president of worldwide studios, THQ. "We're really excited to see the Incinerator team begin to bring its own ideas for next generation development to THQ."
A good move for THQ, in my opinion.

That's interesting, I wonder if it has anything to do with Concrete Games (http://www.concretegames.com/), which is also a THQ studio focussed on next-gen and located in Carlsbad. Maybe just a rename?

Totally different studio, within a mile of each other... why?
