THQ ANNOUNCES - THE ALIEN INVASION HAS BEGUN! THEIR MISSION - DESTROY ALL HUMANS!

Highly Anticipated Sci-Fi Action Game From THQ And Pandemic Studios Allows Players to Be the Alien and Unleash Massive Destruction on Mankind

CALABASAS HILLS, Calif., June 21, 2005 - THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced the arrival of Destroy All Humans!(tm) for the Sony PlayStation^®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox^® video game system from Microsoft. Turning the tables on the classic Human vs. Alien scenario, Destroy All Humans! allows gamers to play as the alien invader unleashing a wave of destruction on mankind. Delivering disintegrator rays, massive explosions, and a hilarious helping of 1950s paranoia, Destroy All Humans! is now available for the suggested retail price of $49.99.

"The advance praise for Destroy All Humans! is especially gratifying because of THQ's increased commitment to publishing original gaming properties," said Peter Dille, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, THQ. "Destroy All Humans! is a prime example of our ongoing commitment to deliver fresh themes, innovative game play and original content to all gamers."

Developed by renowned game developer Pandemic Studios, Destroy All Humans! is packed with non-stop saucer-flying, vaporizing, terrorizing action. As the trigger-happy, bulb-headed alien Crypto-137, players will explore a variety of open world game environments as they take on earth's helpless legions of soldiers, beat cops, and G-men and probe the thoughts and secret desires of the citizens of the doomed planet.

"We had so much fun making this game," comments Pandemic Studios President Josh Resnick. "In between blowing up whole blocks of buildings and buzzing around in our flying saucers zapping everything in sight, we were probing cows, discovering the secret lusts of 1950s housewives, and laughing our heads off."

Since its unveiling, Destroy All Humans! has been praised from top gaming and consumer press:
"Destroy All Humans! is ... simply too much fun to resist.  8.25 and 8.0 out of 10"
-Game Informer
"Every once in a while, there comes a game that truly defines creativity
...Destroy All Humans! succeeds where many have failed.  4.5 out of 5."
-GamePro
"We see a lot of open-world games these days, but none ooze originality like
Destroy All Humans! It's one of the few unique concepts in gaming."
-GameSpy
"From town square to county fair, the invasion is on."
-Penthouse
