...Anyway:

I received a HA Barricade and a deluxe Ratchet today.
Rathet has a nice robot mode but he feels a bit flimsy and cheap but his robot mode is the best version of him so far. Alt mode isnt up to much though cos you can see robot legs quite clearly underneath.
But overall i really like him and i hope they upscale the mold to voyager size for tf3 to replace that lame tftm and rotf voyager.
Barricade on the other hand is awesome on all accounts, no complaints apart from his saw-blade arm. I would have preffered just another hand or at least have the option of a flip out hand but its a minor gripe. One of the best of the line so get him if you can!
 
was about to post this news, lol. read about it yesterday.

you guys are going to LOVE the storyline. I was lucky enough to get a copy a little early (MP disabled) but have completed the Decepticon campaign and it's a w e s o m e ....
 
Played the WFC demo for about 10 minutes and in that time all enthusiasm for the full game pretty much evaporated.

The developer have naturally hyped it as being a different kind of TF game but in reality it plays pretty much the same as the movie ones and the only thing going for it is the license.

My next game purchase was either going to be WFC or Red Dead Redemption and having now played both Rockstar's cowboy epic wins hands down.

Still looking forward to the toys though especially Bumblebee who's the best version of the character in years.

The demo is alright but i would have preferred a non mp demo and had a sp demo only. I find multiplayer demos pointless since all the leveling up you'll do will be a waste of time as none of those stats will stack over into your profile when you get the full game.
Not only that but theres so many mp features that arent available either so the experiance is really watered down.
Plus it means hanging out with people and annoying racist kids online.
Though it does give a feel for the controls and how the game plays which feels very smooth and intuitive and the combat aint half bad either.
I think with a proper narrative and story to follow the full game should be pretty awesome, but i doubt it will egt more than an 8 when it gets reviewed.
 
Multiplayer features are fine for those that spend 24/7 online but for casual gamers like me who only spend 30-60 minutes playing a day at the most there's no fun in it.

Maybe the single player will be better :dunno

Aye. Those of us with actual lives and activities to do besides play games all day just want a good single player game.
Im sure it'll be good, although a bit simplistic and old hat, but thats just the nature of the third person shooter...not everything can be Red Dead Redemption afterall lol.

Heres some possible cool news about TF3: (Warning, spoilers ahead and huge pinches of salt may be necessary)

It's not rumors

You don't have to worry about it not being true; the article ran in USA Today.

By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — The Transformers promise they can change, baby.
With shooting underway on a third movie and plans to debut next summer, Michael Bay and Co. acknowledge missteps with the last one and aim to upgrade the shape-shifting robot franchise with a more coherent story, less goofball humor and a pledge that characters who die will stay dead. It will also be in 3-D.

Revenge of the Fallen was the No. 2 movie of 2009 (behind only Avatar), earning $836 million worldwide — clearly very popular, though complaints from some moviegoers and a negative fusillade from critics made the filmmakers take notice.

"I'll take some of the criticism," says Bay, standing at a set built to resemble a dilapidated nuclear reactor. "It was very hard to put (the sequel) together that quickly after the writers' strike (of 2007-08)."

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says the rush strained the plot: "We tried to do too many things in the second movie, which didn't give enough time in any one of them. We were constantly jumping to the next piece of information, the next place."

Bay is not one for mea culpas, but he says he can do better. "This one really builds to a final crescendo. It's not three multiple endings," the director says.

Bay calls the second film's villain, The Fallen, "kind of a (expletive) character." The new movie's foe is certain to make fans of the original '80s incarnation smile: Shockwave, the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth.

"One thing we're getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy," Bay adds. So the twins, the two bumbling, slang-spewing robots? "They're basically gone," he says, though John Turturro returns for comic relief.

The new film features Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. "Shia has this great line: 'You know, I've saved the world twice, but I can't get a job,' " di Bonaventura says.

Megan Fox, who played Mikaela, was dropped just before shooting, so LaBeouf's character also has a new love interest, played by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

"I love Megan and I miss the girl," LaBeouf says, flecked with fake blood and dirt during a break between shooting. "But Sam and Mikaela became one character, and here ... you have discovery again from a new perspective."

Plot details are under wraps, but it delves into the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet's most dangerous secrets. "The movie is more of a mystery," Bay says. "It ties in what we know as history growing up as kids with what really happened."

While Optimus Prime, Megatron and even Sam all have died and been resurrected, di Bonaventura says this film will have no do-overs: Die, and that's it.

Bay hints that there may be a lot of that. "As a trilogy, it really ends," he says. "It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending."
 
Been playing the game for the past few hours now. Very fun indeed, and the balance seems to be good. The soldier's cannon is pretty much usless though. The controls could be better as well, with the left thumbstick transformation being rubbish, far too sensitive. The secondary one with Y as transform works well, but then switching weapons is a pain. A third one that switches Y and up would most likely work best.

Melee could have been done better as well. Under LB, perhaps? Or the left trigger? That would sacrifice the zoom in function, but it seems best to just run and shoot from the hip.
 
2 future Generations releases are showing up in Wal-Mart computers,

Dirge
Blurr

Already knew about Blurr as it's a repaint/retool of Drift but it's awesome news on Dirge as it's almost certainly going to be the Henkei version of the mold which has more G1 accurate wings than the Botcon 2007 version :rock

Give me a break. so people who game have no lives? I love good MP and for me it adds to wanting to buy a game. I don't game online 7 days a week either. I game usually 2 nights a week at most so the argument that "having a life" means you don't care about MP may apply to YOU, but not to everyone.
