Armed with Controllers plays: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Attention, readers of The Paranoid Gamer; we owe you an apology. Due to unforeseen circumstances involving a laptop and an accidental coffee spillage, we were unable to post our regular Armed with Controllers feature last Friday. This melancholic cloud has a shimmering silver lining, however, as it means we can bring you a double dose of engaging gameplay, deadpan quips and English accents this week. I believe this calls for an elated “yay”.
In today’s video, AwC’s KB transforms and rolls out in High Moon Studios’ Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, released on console and PC just over 12 months ago. Being the direct continuation of 2010’s Transformers: War for Cybertron, the Autobots and the Decepticons are at each other’s mechanical jugulars once again over the fate of, you guessed it, Cyberton. It’s a tightly-crafted cinematic shooter that improves upon the fundamentals of its predecessor dramatically – i.e. bigger guns, bigger explosions, and the chance to play as a robot T-Rex. No, I’m not kidding.
In the immortal words of Optimus Prime, “do you ever get the feeling that you were programmed for something more than just repairing space bridges?” Wait, that’s the wrong quote…
