As well as Pictionary, the publisher plans to make games based on Barbie, Hot Wheels and Fisher-Price toys.

It's a multi-year, multi-platform deal covering "consoles and handheld systems; personal computers; mobile devices and social networks; and popular online gaming portals such as Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and Nintendo WiiWareT Network."

THQ and Mattel are already in the development stage on multiple games, the first of which are scheduled for release next holiday season.
