Now that the release date has finally been broken on this title, I can sit back, enjoy a good online rumble and bring the experience to all of AMO’s readers. As someone who has followed the different storylines, universes and timelines of the Transformers since childhood I was pretty intrigued to see what developers High Moon Studios had come up with. Featuring a new take on the original cartoon incarnation, Peter Cullin reprises his role as noble leader Optimus Prime in an effort to save his planet from the threat of Megatron’s rule.

By Ian McCabe

If there are two things I love in this world (other than a good cup of tea and jammy dodgers), it would be video games and rock music. Throw the two together, put Tim Schafer in the rhythm section, Jack Black as your front man and a whole host of metal legends as your backing band and what do you get?

GAME REVIEW – 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa (Xbox 360)

By Duncan Voice

[Insert generic opening line about England losing on penalties, a broken metatarsal and the influence of WAGs here].

2010 Fifa World Cup is the latest inevitable cash cow of EA’s now excellent football series. Perhaps slightly unfair to label it a cash cow, it is difficult to recommend nonetheless, despite it being the best incarnation of the beautiful game.
