Transformers War for Cybertron [PS3 - Neil MacVicar 05/08/2010]

    Borrowing from other mediums never really seems to work for video games. While that is starting to change (Batman Arkham Asylum) games that are based off other forms of art are generally mediocre. Publisher's don't take the idea seriously and vice versa the best directors do not consider what we love an art (Prince of Persia please prove me wrong).

    The best attempts that I've seen are in the Spiderman and Transformers games respectively.

    The content for Spiderman Shattered Dimensions is limited, so this post is purely to do with the irresistable transformers. I can tell you the images and trailers for Transformers War for Cybertron are looking hot.

    This new chapter actually takes us back to the beginning of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons on their home planet Cybertron. This is before Optimus becomes a prime and at the beginning of the game Starscream hasn't even joined the decepticons yet.

Thoes who are set to be on the roster at the moment are:

Autobots: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Prowl, Red Alert, Jetfire, Silverbolt(!), Air Raid, Grimlock, Warpath, Arcee, and Jazz(Gamespot pre-order exclusive)

Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Breakdown, Brawl, Motormaster, Barricade, Shockwave(!)[Gamespot pre-order exclusive], and Demolisher.

    Expect: *Campaigns for either faction supporting online or offline co-op

               *Special abilities for each character

               *Competitive online muliplayer (different game types and classes)

               *Online character customization

               *Transform on the fly

    Transformers War for Cybertron is set for release june 22 2010. Below is a story trailer and a multiplayer trailer.
