The war on planet Cybertron rages on in this second chapter of the phenomenally successful action game series. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron takes fans through the final, darkest hours of the civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons as they fight for control of their dying planet, ultimately leading to their storied exodus from home.
With the stakes higher and scale bigger than ever, fans will control an unprecedented assortment of Transformers characters armed with authentic transformation designed around their unique abilities, including Grimlock's nearly indestructible T-Rex form and the legendary Combaticons forming into the colossal Bruticus. Taking the franchise's competitive online play to all-new heights, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron pits players head-to-head in blistering Autobot vs. Decepticon matches. Before multiplayer combat, players can create their own unique characters with the most in-depth, advanced customization ever before seen in a Transformers game.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a good action game that shines because it perfectly captures the feel of G1 Transformers. Ah, sweet nostalgia. For those of you who can't help but grin at Fall of Cybertron's Peter Cullen-voiced Prime or the pitch-perfect e-er-o-er-a transformations, Activision and High Moon have another treat: Transformers fighting on your street. Interested in seeing Grimlock breathe fire outside your window? Inquire within. Read More »
"Dinosaurs aren't that cool," said no one ever. Everyone on the planet loves dinosaurs, and that's why the fine folks at High Moon Studios are dropping Dinobots into the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron multiplayer. Yup, you'll be able to take a T-Rex robot into battle against those puny cars that currently rule the world. Who says dinosaurs are extinct? Well, uh, scientists do. But you get the point.

Separated from my childhood love of the original cartoon, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a merely average sci-fi third-person shooter with some mediocre-at-best level design. But combine the two, and it's lifted several notches on my personal enjoyment scale. No longer must I use my crappy imagination to control Dinobot leader Grimlock as he smoothly transforms into a mecha-tyrannosaurus and smashes Insecticons by the dozen, or the Combaticons' Bruticus as he rampages through Autobot defenses. And the original voice of Optimus Prime? Awesome. Story and characters can make a mediocre game better -- at least for the right audience. Read More »
I'm a sucker for a good horde mode. Battling progressively difficult waves of enemies with a few friends never gets old for me, and I'm psyched so many developers have put their own spin on horde across a wide range of games. High Moon is the latest to take the horde plunge with the new Escalation mode in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and I look forward to the co-op alien robot battles. Get an eyeful of Escalation in the new trailer within. Read More »
PC gamers finally got a decent Optimus Prime shoot-em-up with 2010's Transformers: War for Cybertron. Excitement for the announcement of the sequel, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron quickly transformed (cue the classic sound effect) to disappointment when Activision first announced there'd be no PC version, and then back again when the PC version was resurrected at E3. I bombarded Activision Associate Producer J.D. Livergood with questions: Will Fall of Cybertron get the all-too-common half-assed console-port treatment or a well-crafted translation to mouse and keyboard controls and graphics settings? We've got the first details. Read More »
