New Home Video & Video Game Releases – Week of August 19, 2012

Featured Release:  Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

The Transformers games, which were based on the movie series, have…  Well…  Well they haven’t been good.  Luckily, developer High Moon Studios decided to make a game outside of the film continuity with the critically-acclaimed Transformers: War for Cybertron.  In these games, you meet the characters in a form before you’d recognize them in the movie and cartoon series.

In the original game, you fought as the both the Decepticons and Autobots as the battle on Cybertron reaches its apex.  In today’s release, the Fall of Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers has fallen to the Decepticons and the leaders of the Autobots are fleeing the planet.  Like the original, it appears that you will take the roles of both Autobots and Decepticons.  From previews, unlike the original game where you can select which Transformer you’d like to play as, the missions utilize a specific Transformer and is tailored to their particular skill set.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron arrives in stores today.  For console owners, you can test out the game first by downloading the demo on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
