The Transformers universe has been somewhat of a reopened gold mine as of late. A brand new Transformers MMO has been announced for Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and Russia, there are brand new toys in the shops and lest we forget the brand new, Michael Bay Transformers movies that have divided opinion (I personally enjoyed them), and all the merchandising that comes with them. But as with anything that is part of so many people’s childhoods, when franchises are revisited in such a way, there’s extreme pressure on “getting it right” and being true to the source material. So imagine my own scepticism then when it was announced that a brand new Transformers game entitled Transformers: War For Cybertron was on it’s way, especially after the most recent Transformers games I had played were the terrible, aforementioned movie tie-ins.
But Transformers: War For Cybertron is different, it stands alone.

First person shooters has been somewhat of a hit or miss genre on Nintendo consoles. Whilst we marvel at the greatness of GoldenEye or Turok, we also have to live with the likes of The Conduit, they are either absolutely spot on, or abysmally bad. These days Nintendo strive to develop some of the most accessible, family friendly games on the market, I’m of the opinion that they should also pump a bit of that cash they’ve got lying around into a sequel for the little gaming gem I’m going to talk to you about today, XIII (or 13 if you don’t know your Roman numerals).

o it’s sold a staggering 1.23 million copies in the UK alone and caused a mass of controversy in it’s wake, I think it’s safe to say the world has gone absolutely berserk for the latest instalment in the “Call of Duty” franchise, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2”. Now I unfortunately have drawn the short straw and have the huge task of having to review this gaming mammoth so here’s what I shall do. Since there’s so much to talk about I shall split my review into two parts. Part one (the one you’re reading right now) shall be solely about singleplayer campaign with part two focusing on the multiplayer, giving you my final rating as well as looking at the addition of the brand new “Special Ops” mode.
