Leigh Sherval writes: "Unless you count Armada on the PS2, the Transformers franchise hasn’t fared well in videogame form. The most recent efforts, based on the blockbuster movies, have been lacklustre at best despite the huge amount of source material to draw from. War for Cybertron comes from High Moon Studios and, free from the shackles of being a tie in, delivers the game fans have been waiting for.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is a real treat for fans but there is more than enough of a great game here to appeal to those who aren’t. With a sizable campaign experience, addictive cooperative play and a fully featured multiplayer component to boot it represents a great package. If only more developers would understand that intelligent design should come first, rather than relying on a license gimmick to carry the gameplay. There’s already talk of a sequel and I’m sure that anyone who gets their hands on this would welcome one."
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
