The first GOOD Transformers game..., July 17, 2010

It's a fun game. It can get old after a while, but it has enough unique qualities in campaign and multiplayer to make it a good alternative to halo, call of duty, and battlefield.

Sure, there were references to Cybertron and in many medias some stories even took place there but the ultimate history remained unseen. Fortunately for the fans and gamers, that's not the such case anymore. Transformers: War for Cybertron, developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision is a third-person shooter that allows the player to play a role in the epic war for Cybertron by playing as the heroic Autobots or ruthless Decepticons. Who knew a robot war in space thousands of miles away could be so good?To start off I think it's important to note in no way is this game associated with the Michael Bay Transformers film series. This game is its own, it's no quick cash-in, as Hasbro has kept on board to ensure the series is represented faithfully and expertly. If I had to...
