Thanks to Michael Bay (for better or worse), The Transformers are once again in the limelight as he's directed not one but two feature-length films starring the giant shape-shifting alien robots. While a large number of liberties were taken while transferring the license to the big screen, the core basis of huge robots fighting each other while changing into various vehicles and weapons remains intact. And of course, as Michael Bay has helmed the projects, there's no shortage of explosions.
The latest film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has gotten a videogame take of the same name. While the game has hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP and Nintendo DS, a number of these are actually different games. As such, IGN will be focusing on the PS3, 360 and PC versions here as all of the others are vastly different experiences.

GameZone's Robert Workman goes through the history of Transformers games and gives the worst and best of the bunch.
The PS2 version I liked and War for Cybertron was a great title to play aswell I can't wait for Fall of Cybertron to come out.
I used to have a transformers game on my c64 back in the day. Loved that game. Never could get anywhere in this game though. Still played the hell out of it.
Transformers Armada and WFC are by far the best Transformer games. I urge anyone who hasn't yet played them to do so asap.
