Gamescom is now but a single week away and as we pack our suitcases in anticipation, THQ has announced its rather strong lineup for the big event in Germany next week, with big titles like Saints Row: The Third, Metro: Last Light, Darksiders II and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine.

There's also the requisite family title with uDraw and a new fitness game with adidas miCoach for Kinect. You'll also find two kinds of fighting, one pretend and one 'as real as it gets' with WWE 12 and UFC Undisputed 3. We'll let you work out which one is which.

Check out THQ's full list of Gamescom 2011 titles right here:

  • adidas miCoach - Designed to take performance to the next level, miCoach is a sport-specific personalised training system. Players work out with a host of internationally recognised sports stars including Dwight Howard, Ricardo Kaká and Andrea Petkovi?, while continuously receiving feedback in real time. The miCoach system incorporates workout data gathered away from the game, too, making it the most unique and advanced fitness tool for game consoles. Scheduled Release Date: Early Calendar 2012
  • Darksiders II - The sequel to its award-winning action/adventure title, Darksiders II follows the exploits of DEATH, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a weaving tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels DEATH through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother WAR, the horseman who was blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders. Scheduled Release Date: Calendar 2012
  • Metro: Last Light - A gripping, story-driven first person shooter, Metro: Last Light is the highly anticipated sequel to 2010's critically acclaimed cult classic Metro 2033. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside - and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival - the last light in our darkest hour... Scheduled Release Date: Calendar 2012
  • Saints Row: The Third - The highly anticipated next installment in the open-world Saints Row® series, the over-the-top third-person action title gives players control of the Third Street Saints at the height of power. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on. Scheduled Release Date: 15th November, 2011 for North America and 18th November, 2011 for Europe
  • uDraw GameTablet (including uDraw Studio: Instant Artist and Pictionary: Ultimate Edition) - Introduced for the Wii last holiday season, the innovative, revolutionary game system that established a new category of unbridled creative play is coming to HD platforms. The uDraw GameTablet will come bundled with uDraw Studio: Instant Artist, which features versatile and easy-to-use tools for users to create anything from simple doodles to intricate masterpieces. Pictionary: Ultimate Edition features new clues and new functionality, created exclusively for the uDraw GameTablet for Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. Scheduled Release Date: Holiday 2011 
  • UFC Undisputed 3 - The critically acclaimed and best-selling MMA videogame franchise returns to take players inside the Octagon, delivering UFC action focused on intense toe-to-toe combat, impressive visual presentation and increased accessibility.  Featuring the addition of PRIDE Mode, a brand new submission system, new ways to finish the fight and increased accessibility through both traditional and simplified gameplay controls, players will experience intense combat and a pure adrenaline rush ever time they step inside the Octagon. Scheduled Release Date: January 2012 for North America and Europe
  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Players of this third-person action/shooter step into the armor of Captain Titus of the Ultramarines, humanity's last hope for survival in a war-torn future. In a brutally violent world based on the rich science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000, players fight against the savage Orks and the unholy forces of Chaos in an attempt to liberate a besieged Forge World and prevent its technology from falling into enemy hands. Space Marine also features competitive multiplayer, co-op and a robust customisation system. Scheduled Release Date: 6th September, 2011 for North America and 9th September, 2011 for Europe
  • WWE ‘12 - WWE '12 will celebrate the rebirth of the iconic and authentic simulation franchise through a bigger game, badder presentation and better gameplay than ever before, delivering long-awaited critical improvements to the core gameplay experience, the most creative and extensive feature set to date and a visceral, edgy and polished presentation. Scheduled Release Date: 22nd November, 2011 for North America and 25th November, 2011 for Europe

@5 You have to play Saints Row 2 in co-op. Trust me, you WILL NOT regret it. One of the most hilarious games I've played in a long time.

Yeah, been following info on darksiders 2 for a good long time. I loved the first one and how it unashamedly used some facets from previous incredible games. GI magazine had a great article on it and made me even more excited about it. Really looking forward to it.

Would have liked to see something from Dark Millenium Online. (The WH40K MMO) But i guess they are saving it for E3 next year. Nonetheless im really intrigued by Saints Row 3, the trailers i saw were funny as hell.

looking forward to UDraw and WWE 12, never played much of Darksiders and never got round to playing Metro. Barely played Saints Row either, I have SR2 so will get round to it but I'm finishing Mass Effect 2 and AC Brotherhood at minute.
So many games, so little time, especially when losing the joy of gaming a bit at the minute, need November to come for Skyrim and WWE 12, sure that will get me in the spirit again.

Saints Row The Third. Give us info, lots and lots of info THQ. Also give us a pushed up release date. Today (the 16th) would be great but I can probably wait until the 23rd if you need some time to make a few copies.
