Transformers - Image 1 


Speaking to the FiringSquad, Traveller's Tales' Callum Godfrey, producer of Transformers: The Game, revealed several details about their upcoming videogame version of the silver screen adaptation.

Okay, first up, game mode details. Godfrey says that the game runs two campaigns, one for Autobots and one for Decepticons. He adds that while the Autobots campaign follows the movie story closely, the Decepticons campaign is a bit altered.

He adds that the missions are themed for each campaign, so expect to do a lot of protecting when playing Autobots. The stage design of each mission also factor in the fact that you can transform into vehicles, so expect to do some driving around.

There will be 9 playable characters including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Barricade, and Blackout, among others. As far as the weapons the characters will be using, Godfrey says that it will be similar to the movie.

When it comes to using the weapons, Godfrey notes that they have a targeting system that should allow gamers to switch quickly from one target to the next. They use the same targeting system for melee and ranged combat.

As we've previously reported, the game features the voices of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Frank Welker as Megatron, so that's a nice nod to the franchise's history. Godfrey himself says that the inclusion of the voice actors makes them happy about their project.

Sadly, the game does not support online multiplayer .

Transformers: The Game should be available this June for North America, and this coming Summer for the EU region. It is set to come out for the PS3, the Xbox 360, the Wii, the PS2, and the PC.

Here's a warning to companies out there who insist on marketing their products using hyperbole. British teen Callum thinks you're challenging him to disprove your claims. Take the case of the so-called indestructable PSP case. Callum said "They say this PSP case is indestructable, so i tested it." And tested he did. Again and again and again and...

The indestructable PSP case lived up to its name for a while. Your PSP will survive if you were suddenly caught in a hail storm only instead of hail, it was raining bricks. Unfortunately, CSI agents will take a while to identify your pulpy remains. But your legacy will live on through your PSP to the delight of your kid brother.

Inside the indestructable case, your PSP will live to see another day even if some crazed Xbox or Nintendo fanboy decided to run it down with a skateboard or a bike. (Based on some fanboy comments posted in here, it could happen!)

So what's the problem? The makers of the indestructable case didn't make their product fire-proof and immune to Callum's pick axe. Which makes it Callum:1, (Not So) Indestructable PSP Case: 0. By the way, Callum is planning to auction off the remains of his test subject on eBay; if you're interested, search for "mulked psp case, indestructable?" starting June 9.
