In this post we've included three teaser trailers for Jazz, Demolishor and Shockwave -- all of whom are "in" Transformers: War For Cybertron

.. As pre-order bonuses. That's right, if you buy the game from Best-Buy, Amazon or GameStop (US folks) you'll respectively be rewarded with Jazz, Demolishor or Shockwave. Naturally it's best to go the Shockwave route. Because Shockwave rules. Hopefully these..

Bizarre Creations' first Playstation 3 racer Blur is not particularly far away at this point, but we're still yet to get our hands-on the game like our XBOX owning brethren

Thankfully this trailer pretty much details everything you need to know about it. The game's due next month.

If you played the original DJ Hero, or enjoy the notion of spinning discs and its culture, you're probably already familiar with DJ Shadow

The disc-jockey recently appeared on BBC's Radio One, and was asked about the original DJ Hero experience. To which he responded, "it was interesting, I'm actually working on the next one as well. But yeah, it was a trip." The "next one"?..

Hot-headed Ironhide's been announced as part of the cast for Activision's upcoming tradition Transformers title, Transformers: War For Cybertron

He'll be joined by Decepticon counter-part Skywarp, who had the ability to teleport in the original series. He'll have cloaking technology in the game, for the sake of balance we assume. Urgh. Everytime a character gets announced for this game we get all..

We've gone a little quiet on the whole Activion, Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment drama

There's not much to tell really. The once high-profile studio has suffered a pretty enormous exodus, and Activision blogger Dan Amrich reckons there's more to come. Posting on a Bobby Kotick Facebook group (ahem), the Activision man stated there was still plenty of talent at the studio, despite many..

Bond's appearance on the big-screen may be put on indefinite hiatus, but that ain't stopping Activision from pumping out a (hopefully) good Bond based video game

Said game has long been rumoured to be rumoured to be a racing game, espcially since Bond's voice-actor for the still secret title Adam Croasdell revealed that the game was to be a mixture of “a third-person shooter with a mix of driving..

We don't like doing the whole "this dude said this thing on Twitter and that's now become news" too often, but we suppose when Tony Hawk totally just announces the name of his next game, there's a story there

Boasting that he probably just sent a PR team "reeling", Hawk outed that his next game will be called "Tony Hawk: Shred". Robomodo's said to be working on the game. Let's..

How exactly do you broaden the audience of one of the biggest selling games in video game history? No idea, but Activision's COO Thomas Tippi [really? - Ed] seems to think newly formed studio Sledgehammer Games' Call Of Duty project will do just that

Speaking with the LA Times, Tippi said Sledgehammer's take will bring "innovation" to the series. Tippi was also keen to stress that..

Long-time readers of the site will know we're overwhelmingly excited at the prospect of a good "traditional" Transformers game in Transformers: War For Cybertron

And thus with the announcement of representation from both the Aerialbots and Stunticons, our excitement goes up that little bit more. Both Air Raid and Breakdown will break away from their gestalt and join the battle for Cybertron..

Infinity Ward is dead at this point

Seriously, if you're still clinging onto that Call Of Duty and Modern Warfare brand, you may aswell stop. That's not to undermine Treyarch's efforts. They're a good studio that make good games. It's just that Infinity Ward are were the life-blood of the franchise. But that's studio's now all but dead. With gaffers Vince Zampella and Jason West over at EA's..

If you read PushSquare yesterday you'd know that the fired Infinity Ward gaffers, Vince Zampella and Jason West, have formed a new studio with EA under the guise Respawn Entertainment

Industry analyst Michael Pachter reckons this is a huge "screw you" to Activision. “This is the ultimate screw-you to Activision — and the ultimate screw-you to EA,” said Michael Pachter, who remembers..

Remember those fired Infinity Ward staffers Vince Zampella and Jason West? Y'know, the ones who practically created the Call Of Duty franchise

Yeah, erm, they just signed a new publishing deal with EA. Their new studio's named Respawn Entertainment. The new studio will retain full control over the..

If you've not been keeping up with the whole Activision vs

ex-Infinity Ward men debacle, you probably wouldn't know that Jason West and Vince Zampella - ex-gaffers at Modern Warfare 2 studio Infinity Ward - were fired by the company's parent Activision and later reacted by issuing legal action against the company. Well Activision's just released a counter-complaint against the ex-employees,..

Microsoft's "exclusivity" in regards to Modern Warfare 2's "Stimulus Map Pack" has turned out to be incredibly brief, as publishers Activision has just announced that the DLC's due on Playstation 3 mere weeks after its XBOX 360 debut - on May 4th in the US and May 5th worldwide

That's according to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling anyway, who made the statement via Twitter. No word on pricing yet but..

When we were younger, we dreamt of being a Transformer

We'd be a Ford Capri, with missile launchers coming out of our headlamps, and big Batman prongs on the top of our head. It's exciting, then, to hear that the upcoming Transformers game Transformers: War For Cybertron (which incidentally looks really good) includes a character creation mode. Sadly, it appears that Modnation Racers/LittleB

If you missed yesterday's blow-out on Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, you'd probably do well to head over here first

Done? Ok, so a few more details for you on Spidey's amazingly/noir outing: the game's story is being penned by Marvel's Dan Slott and will be hitting stores this September. If you're in the US, you'll be able to read more about the game in the next issue of GamePro and also the San..

After the jump is the debut trailer for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
