THQ and their internal team from Rainbow Studios are breeding a new action thriller game for the Wii, called Deadly Creatures, the publisher announced today. The game - described by Rainbow's Nick Wlodyka as a "creepy, cinematic thrill ride (...) with brutal motion-controlled combat, a dark, compelling story and some of the best visuals to date on the Wii" - is planned as an exclusive release on Nintendo's console in 2008. Here's a bit more about it.

"Deadly Creatures throws players into a venomous world of desert terror, where the greatest victory is survival. Players will follow the entwined adventures of an armored scorpion and a stealthy tarantula as they struggle against a variety of creatures including vicious Gila monsters, tarantula wasps, black widows, and the most dangerous predator of all - Man. Deadly Creatures takes full advantage of the Wii's unique motion-based control scheme and allows players to fully experience every pounce and tail sting."
