Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third-person shooter video game developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision. Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third person shooter that takes place prior to the original Transformers animated series, when the Transformers still lived on the fictional machine planet Cybertron. The game has two distinct campaigns, one for each faction. The story of the Decepticon campaign is a prelude to the Autobot campaign's story. Both campaigns can be played in single-player or cooperatively via online multiplayer, and can drop in or out of the game at any time. Each campaign level features three playable Transformers. If fewer than three players are present, the game's AI controls the remaining playable characters. War for Cybertron has several multiplayer modes to choose from. "Escalation" is a mode for exclusive pre-order characters and characters unlocked during the campaign. Non-stop waves of robots attack until the player(s) are defeated, similar to Gears of War "Horde" mode. Players are also able to spend points earned from defeated enemies on health, ammo, new weapons and unlocking new areas in the map. "Deathmatch" is a free-for-all game type where the player with the most kills at the end of the game is the winner. In "Team Deathmatch" players are divided into Autobot and Decepticon teams. The winning team is the one who earns the most kills. "Conquest" is a capture-and-hold style game, similar to the conquest mode found in the Star Wars Battlefront series. In "Countdown to Extinction" players must take an active bomb and place it at an enemy base, similar to the Assault mode in the Halo series. "Power Struggle" is the game's equivalent to the common Capture the Flag game type. Finally "Code of Power" is a mode consisting of two and a half minute rounds where teams vie for a giant melee weapon.

The well-realized license in this third-person shooter can hide the myriad problems for only so long.

War For Cybertron might be the best Transformers game ever made... but that isn't exactly a high bar to best.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Reviews

7.1
based on 5 top critics

9.0
Ever since I picked up my first issue of White Dwarf magazine in the late 1980’s, I have had a never-ending fascination with Games Workshop. To this day, Warhammer 40K remains my favorite science fiction universe. As an avid fan of the Dawn of War series, I have been following the development of Space Marine since Relic announced it. Now that it has finally arrived, I can tell you it is without a doubt one of the best video game translations of the 40K universe ever created, and one of the best games I have played this year.

6.0
Space Marine's brutal single player works just fine on the PS3, but the online matchmaking is so busted that it's clearly the weakest of the three platforms.

6.2
Relic's latest isn't a disappointing game, it's just an uneventful one.

7.0
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is on the shallow side, but it still serves up plenty of "waaagh!"

7.5
Warhammer fans can breathe a bit easier.
