Another film adaptation that falls short...

A diverse array of characters, weapons and abilities.

The unnecessary addition of ‘Stealth Force Mode’, poor vehicle physics, a limited environment. Doesn't synch up with The Wizard of Oz.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon offers around 5-6 hours of single player campaign which has a lot I common with the movie franchise... essentially it is a long succession of various different explosions held together by a reasonably basic plot. For the...

Transformers: Dark of the Moon doesn’t suck – which in and of itself is pretty good for a summer blockbuster’s obligatory game tie-in. But really, it’s not all that surprising - it’s developed by High Moon, the same studio that created last year’s exce...

This afternoon, I took time away from my work reviewing video games to go to see an afternoon showing of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. This happened at 1:30PM on a Wednesday. The theater was packed, and I had to sit way in the front, and the bright...

Watch Video ReviewThe life of a developer in charge of a movie tie-in is fraught with peril, and up on the chopping block today is High Moon Studios. It's had less than a year to make an entire game based on that Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie th...

High Moon Studios delivered a surprise with last year's Transformers: War for Cybertron, a third-person action game with a decidedly unique look and feel, the most fun Transformer action in years, and plenty of features for playing together. With th...

The last Transformers game, War for Cybertron, was a fun excapade into the world of Transformers that didn’t take itself too seriously, but was a classic, kid-friendly action-adventure with some surprisingly great multiplayer. The game followed no movi...

Before the review begins, I feel it's my duty to warn anybody who considers purchasing this -- there's barely any mention of the Moon at all. In fact, the Moon appears in the campaign's end credits more than it appears in the game itself. Transformer...

I'll admit that growing up, I was never the biggest Transformers fan. I never saw the animated movie as a kid, and while everyone had their Transformers toys, my big obsession was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hey, at least it was something else big...

With another Transformers movie just weeks away it’s no surprise that a videogame spinoff has arrived to commemorate the occasion. In the past, the Transformers “movie games” have managed to capture the essence of the films and bring a bit of that robo...

The root of most movie tie-in games' problems: time. Too-short development cycles, last-minute plot changes (realistic for shooting schedules, but murder for level design and game pacing)... the list goes on. And time feels like it's at the root of all...

Transformers: Dark of the Moon feels like another casualty in the movie-game war of short deadlines. The ideas for something great are certainly here, because the fundamentals were pulled from a great game. But Transformers: Dark of the Moon stretches...

Transformers: Dark of the Moon for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is pretty much just another quickly churned out movie tie-in game with a short campaign and questionable controls. However, it could be a lot worse. I actually had some genuine fun with it at poin...
