I have been a Sony loyalist for a long time now.  The major attraction that continues to draw me to Sony is the huge selection of Sony exclusive titles.  Somehow over the years I’ve continued to pass on a very successful series titled SOCOM.  A few months back that all changed.

My first concern was that the game would be a movie based game.  As most gamers know,  almost all movie based games suffer from low budgets,  rushed deadlines and horrible results.  Once I learned that the game was going to have it’s own story and not be tied to any movie,  I was relieved. Transformers: War for Cybertron was released in June 2010.  I purchased the game the week it came out and couldn’t wait to play it.  WFC is an ... Read More »
