That isn't to say it ignores the Transformers license or legacy; it doesn't. In fact, it's likely that Cybertron will be the most well thought out piece of popular fan-service the property has seen in a decade. Hasbro has given High Moon studios borderline carte-blanche to create the definitive origin story for the Transformers fiction known as Generation One (or G1). War For Cybertron is it for all intents and purposes, the Alpha to the original animated Transformers movie's Omega. We've been told that Hasbro is so fond of High Moon's treatment of their flagship toy property that a new line is already in production for the game.
The Non-Fiction Gaming staff look into games that were underrated or written off.
"Today we discuss video games that received little to no love, but we feel deserve some appreciation and a moment in the spotlight."
PixlBit | "Julian can’t contain his inner fanboy for Transformers, and even though Fall of Cybertron isn’t his idea of a perfect TF game you get to hear him discuss it at length. Patrick vents his frustration over the ending of Dead Space 2 (no spoilers) and talks some Starhawk, while Rob manages to rave about Counter Strike: Global Offensive without yelling 'BOOM! Headshot!'"
The battle for CYBERTRON continues as Activision have announced that the Transformers: War for Cybertron Map and Characters Pack 2 is available now for download on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Based on Hasbro's iconic TRANSFORMERS brand, the downloadable content pack will include two new, distinct playable TRANSFORMERS characters and five all-new maps for online multiplayer game modes.
