Today, Gamecock announced that it has signed a distribution deal with THQ. Under terms of this agreement, the publisher has the rights to license, market and distribute Gamecock titles across Australia and New Zealand during 2008.

"We're delighted to have signed this agreement with THQ and to be able to offer our indie games to an ever wider audience", said Harry Miller of Gamecock. "By partnering with THQ in Australia we have another chance to ensure that gamers across the world can play games made by great independent developers. Personally, I've always been a fan of Australia, especially the indigenous species found there. I wanted to breed kangaroos, but my wife wouldn't let me".

"We are excited to be working with Gamecock Media Group," Martin Good, Senior Vice President - THQ Asia Pacific/Japan. "With exciting games like Velvet Assassin, Hail to the Chimp and Mushroom Men scheduled for this year, THQ are looking forward to bringing Gamecock titles to gamers across Australia and New Zealand. It's all about providing great gaming experiences to the market. We believe these do just that."
