Marvellous

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron developer High Moon Studios is switching its attention from Optimus Prime to a Marvel property, according to the description of a Comic-Con panel. Details are ridiculously scarce at the moment, but all will be revealed on 14th July. High Moon Studios has done some great work on the Transformers series, so...

It's the beginning of the end for Cybertron

Activision's released a super-stylish CG trailer for the upcoming Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron, and it shows the robotic home-world on the brink. Despite not showing any gameplay, the trailer's a brilliant mood piece. If developer High Moon Studios can match the vibe of the trailer, then it's going to have a real hit on its hands. We adored..

High Moon's released a brand new teaser trailer for its upcoming War For Cybertron follow-up, Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron

The game's set to get a full reveal at next week's VGAs. The trailer, while desperately light on content, should get you in the mood. It shows various Transformers characters — including Grimlock — staring moodily at the camera and kicking ass. "Me Grimlock no care..

The Transformers universe always tends to bring out the best sound designers

This teaser trailer for High Moon Studios' upcoming War For Cybertron sequel, Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron, is no different. Sure it might not include many details about the actual game — but boy does it use some brilliant mechanical sound effects.

After a breif hiatus working on the not-entirely-awful Transformers: Dark Of The Moon movie tie-in, High Moon Studios is back with a brand new original entry in the Transformers series

Announced in the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron continues the story of the ongoing civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Details are scarce, but one thing is..

Fact: the multiplayer in Transformers: War For Cybertron was amazing

In fact the whole package was pretty stellar, which lends hope to upcoming movie tie-in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, which is in development at War For Cybertron studio High Moon. This could turn out the best Transformers movie tie-in yet. It's just a shame the Transformers movies are such shoddy source material in the first..

Y'know what, we kinda feel for High Moon Studios

A little bit. They are clearly a studio heavily passionate about the Transformers franchise and its lore. Their last game, Transformers: War For Cybertron, must have been a dream come true for everyone at the developer. A good Transformers game based on the characters and setting from the original anime series. But they've kinda fallen victim to..

As you might be aware, The Bayformers are back this year, promising more hap-hazard writing and slow-motion CGI

With them, come more mediocre video game tie-ins from Activision. Except there's a little ray of sunshine hidden in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon's press release — High Moon are handling the PlayStation 3 version of the game. You may remember High Moon from the surprisingly decent..

There will be a new entry in the Transformers: War For Cybertron story-arc in 2012

The first War For Cybertron launched earlier this year and was well received due to its reverence for the original Transformers plot and characters. It was also pretty fun to play, but it did have some difficulty and technical issues. Nothing a sequel can't fix though. Transformers will get a movie tie-in before the..

We've been searching for a reason to return to Transformers: War For Cybertron's surprisingly good multiplayer component for a few days now

Right on cue, developers High Moon Studios has dropped details on some upcoming DLC for the fan-friendly product. Aswell as adding in War For Cybertron's pre-order exclusive characters - Shockwave, Demolishor and Jazz - the new DLC will also throw a handful of..

Depending on the retailer you ordered Transformers: War For Cybertron from, you got a bunch of different DLC codes

Soundwave, Jazz and Demolisher were all rewards for pre-ordering the game. Now they're fetching over $100 on eBay. Seriously. A listing ending on Monday scooped a whopping $105 for the Amazon bonus, Demolisher. Crazy. The other codes are netting between $20 and $50. What's hilarious is..

Transformers: War For Cybertron was a really good game

Really good. It proves there's a market for good quality Transformers content that isn't tied into dodgy live-action movies. That doesn't mean every game has to be a shooter however. Speaking at BotCon, High Moon Studio's Matt Tieger and Hasbro's Aaron Archer took part in a little Q&A session with fans. One of the questions asked pointed to..

This Transformers: War For Cybertron commercial says a lot about the game

Firstly, Soundwave is actually a boom-box. Score one to developers High Moon. Secondly, Starscream is a whiny annoying idiot. Score two to developers High Moon. And finally - the ad features Stan Bush's "The Touch". Score three to developers High Moon. Everytime we hear that song we're transported to a dodgy VHS..

Outside of the Modnation Racers, Split/Seconds and Red Dead Redemptions, there's one game lingering on the horizon that has us more excited than any other: Transformers: War For Cybertron

We know - recent Transformers games haven't had a great pedigree. But they were movie tie-ins and this one is not. The multiplayer is something that particularly has us excited. Check out the trailer above and..

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..

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..

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

Bored of the Bayformers and Megan Fox pouting? Us too

We want a real Transformers experience, and thankfully Activision's latest title, War For Cybertron, looks set to capitalise on that. Aside from being a new Transformers game that actually might be good, the game's going to have three-player online co-0p, multiplayer, and epic God Of War-esque set-pieces. Obviously, playing as Transformers..
