All Articles: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Xbox Store Today… Kingdom: New Lands, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Anode, more

A handful of new games are now available to download from the Xbox Games Store, including an IGF-nominated kingdom builder and a robot-wrecking ode to the 1980s.

Developed by Noio, Kingdom: New Lands takes the IGF-nominated kingdom builder and adds “an abundance of new content” including “new mounts, merchants, and vagrants” for its Xbox One debut. And speaking of re-releases, Activision and High Moon brought Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to the Xbox One this week with enhanced visuals and included downloadable content.

Finally this week, Anode is another falling block puzzler that adds colored lasers and detonators to the mix.

More information on all of these games (and a few other new releases) can be found after the break. (more…)

Stan Bush’s “The Touch” gets remixed for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

New Releases: Transformers Fall of Cybertron, More

After last week’s bountiful batch of new releases (some might even call if a cornucopia), this week’s slate is a bit less impressive. But some might say that it’s more than meets the eye…

That’s right, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will be available in stores this week and provide players with all the robot-rampages and dinosaur robot-rampages they could ever want. Me Grimlock and me approve… you might say. Fall of Cybertron will be available as a PC Download and on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Also available this week is a trio of budget PC games: Nightmares From the Deep: The Cursed Heart, Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome, and Disciples III: Gold Edition.
