If those lousy excuses for games paved the way for this then we'll have no option but to eat humble pie and accept those products for what they are. If you take the Guitar Hero concept, replace bad music...

News There May Well Be A New Transformers Game That's Not Based On The Terrible Movies
We're going to say it now because we want to be absolutely clear about such matters
We really, really, really hate the Michael Bay Transformers movie. At first we were sceptical, then we were sucked in by the hype, now we hate it. We're original Transformers fans - we like our robots with personality and our human characters kept to a minimum. We...

Embedded above is the first trailer for Infinity Ward's Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
