Videogame publisher THQ has announced a deal with GamersGate to provide worldwide digital access to some of the company's most popular titles.

The agreement, which excludes Australia and New Zealand, will see Company of Heroes and Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, along with Supreme Commander and its follow-up Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance made available over the service, along with hit titles S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and Full Spectrum Warrior.
