Locomotive Games

Background

In 2005, THQ's development house Pacific Coast Power & Light Co. was renamed to Locomotive Games. Due to financial problems, THQ closed the studio in November 2008.

(June 6, 2006-March 7, 2008)

Logo: Fading in to a concrete floor lit by a off-screen spotlight, the text "locomotive" appears letter-by-letter as they spin around as well. Two orange rings (one of them is cut) zoom out and spin into place, and a blue dot follows. Finally, the text "games" spins into place underneath the right side of the logo. The entire thing also pans slowly down throughout the logo.

Technique: Simple CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of a plastic chip whirling.

Availability: It was seen on three games: Cars and Ratatouille, both for PSP, and Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed for Wii.
