Megan Fox - Image 1Oh, foxy lady getting some action, eh? Fresh from The Transformers movie and well into production for Transformers 2, Megan Fox is now currently being rumored to play Tomb Raider babe Lara Croft in the next installment of the TR movie franchise.

Yeah, if she's not running around after the All-Spark, she's now going to hunt down other ancient relics.

Mega Man - Image 1So, would you rather watch a Uwe Boll movie or a low-budget fan-made movie? I'd go for the latter any day, if you ask me! Check out this trailer for a fan-made live-action movie for Mega Man. Pretty impressive, actually - considering it's got a budget of, like say, just as much as two hundred Happy Meals would cost.

TRansformers: The Game for the Nintendo DS- New details - Image 1 


The Nintendo DS release of Transformers: The Game shows a lot of promise. For the 80s generation, this game is a wonderful blast from the past. The game is based on the upcoming film from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures which is heading to movie theaters this July. Vicarious Visions has been given the task of developing this video game, and from the list of features the it has, it doesn't look like they will be disappointing fans of the series.

Essentially a battle between two factions, the Autobots and Decepticons, this game lets you decide whether you will be a protector or a destroyer of our planet. There are two versions of the game, the Autobot and Decepticon version, with the former gaining access to the Antarctic level and the latter getting the Desert level to play in. Enormous open environment city levels such as Casino Town and Hoover Dam will also be available for you to wage war in.

Players will be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to take part in the AllSpark Wars where they can help their side win via daily challenge missions and global player stats comparisons. Access to 30 unique vehicles with customizable paint schemes will be available so players can create their own customized Transformers. These custom Transformers raise their stats and abilities with every mission you play.

The game features 20 story missions and 20 challenge missions. Local wireless multiplayer modes for up to four players will also be available just in case you get tired of playing with yourself. Popular teamplay modes such as Team Death Match will be available in addition to new unique modes such as AllSpark Sports.
 
Trasformers: The Game is also available on other formats such as the PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360. The Nintendo DS version, however, is slated to be out this June 6. If you'd like to see more about the game, why don't you check out our previous coverage on it with screenshots?

Optimus Prime and Megatron are all set for a happy reunion for the multiplatformer game version of the classic 80s cartoon, Transformers. The voice actors, that is.

Yep, it's been confirmed. Prime voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker have given their nods to reprise their roles as Autobots leader, Optimus Prime, and Decepticons head bot, Megatron for Transformers: The Game. And it was a very smart decision to make on the part of Activision, indeed. Says Activision's production head Laird Malamed, "As Transformers fans, we knew the importance of having the well-known voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the game."

Transformers: The Game is set to head out to retail stores this summer, with Traveller's Tales doing the work for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, and PC version. Meanwhile, Savage Entertainment is working at the helm for the PlayStation Portable version, and Vicarious Visions is responsible for the development of the DS versions.

So, while those companies are still busy tuning up them bots for Transformers: The Game, why don't you go check out this clip from the original Transformers series, where Optimus Prime and Megatron engages in a heated up battle? With the 80's rock music having that cheesy signature 80s lead guitar riffs playing in the background, this is sure to be one big blast from the past.

Activision's Transformers: The Game - Image 1 


There's a new interview about the Transformers game, courtesy of Superhero Hype, and they've got the goods on the games' features, confirming some of the earlier information we had regarding the game and adding some new info on top as well.

For the most part, one of the new bits of information we've heard is that this game will start off with nine playable Transformers, which are probably the staples from the movie. You can unlock a host of other characters through play, and though we've mentioned a maximum of 20 characters previously, there may be more or less depending on what their production team manages to cook up. These characters are all supposed to have their own individual movesets, so don't expect Bumblebee to play like Megatron, because Bumblebee certainly doesn't have the same brawling capabilities of the leader-type bots.

More importantly, they also note additional details  on the questing system set up for Activision and Hasbro's new baby. Daniel Suarez, Activision's executive producer, notes that there'll be two different storylines depending on the type of bot you bring to battle:

If the player decides to be the good guy, then their adventure will focus on the key plot points of the film where they come to Earth and are pitted against the Decepticons.


On the flipside, if the player decides to be evil and picks the Decepticons, the game story is uniquely different and answers the question, "What if the Decepticons win?" All the events in the Decepticons campaign never occur in the film and were created specifically for the game.


All in all, there's no reason to complain. Any game that lets you play a maniacal Decepticon hell-bent on blowing things up and ruling mankind deserves a healthy vote of confidence from gamers. Oh, and there's Megatron too.
