Transformers: War For Cybertron

I read a review saying that Transformers: War For Cybertron would be less received if it wasn't a Transformers game. That could possibly be true since half the fun is living the dream of being Optimus Prime (complete with Peter Cullen voice) and blowing 'Cons to holy hell. (The other half is Warpath who sounds almost exactly like he did in the cartoon.)

Well you know what? I do not care. Did you read that up there? I GET TO PLAY AS OPTIMUS PRIME. That alone makes it worthwhile. You also get to play as other Transformers (Megatron, Soundwave, Sideswipe, Ironhide, etc.), the story is supposedly in sync with the cartoon's continuity and you can watch the credits to the sound of a wailing Stan Bush. As a Transformers fan, it's a pretty sweet deal.

Sure, it gets annoying when I accidentally transform while in the middle of a fight (the transformation button is on the left joystick, which you use to move) and the game is pretty short but it's the best Transformers game to date so it's easy to overlook the imperfections.

The inevitable sequel should have longer campaign modes, split-screen co-op and escalation (Split-screen is quickly becoming a thing of the past!), even more Autobots and Decepticons to choose from, combiner-capability and more Stan Bush. Those are my list of demands. I patiently await for the next game.

Transform and roll out.

TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

Holy Omega Supreme!

That is sick!

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen's first poster has gotten me all tingly inside. I cannot wait for this movie.

I really can't tell who that is on the poster but the shape of the head looks like that of the Decepticon symbol so he's probably a bad dude. Well the "revenge" part points a very big finger at "bad guy" haha. So this dude is either the demonic Fallen, Megatron/Galvatron. Or maybe it's Jazz seeking revenge on everybody for being the only Autobot to die in the first movie haha. Either way, this looks insanely awesome. And am I the only one who thinks all signs (well, at this point) are pointing to Unicron in movie 3? In the comics, the Fallen was allied with the big bad. In the animated movie, Megatron came back as Galvatron thanks to Unicron's machinations. Am I reading the signs right or am I just really grasping at straws? Unicron, on screen, would be the second greatest thing ever. The greatest thing? If Hot Rod kicks his ass by lighting our darkest hour by releasing the power of the matrix and turning into Rodimus Prime in the process. Haha. Oh well. June 26 can't get here soon enough.
