Fall of Cybertron cover revealed and new cinematic trailer

In Addition to all the new E3 crap, High Moon has decided to reveal the cover art for the game case, as well as a new cinematic trailer to help promote the game.

Other good news: while Co-op campaign will not be returning, escalation co-op mode has returned! In this mode, you'll be able to play all the "A-list" iconic characters (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, etc.) each with their own unique set of skills to fight off waves and waves of enemies. Similar to Call of Duty's Zombie mode, you can access a mystery box with weapons, set up traps, find ammo and special perks, and even use money to open doors into completely new environments.

The main interest in this mode is finding a good co-op set up. You can have one guy be the healer and another a tank, or perhaps an fighter in the skies and someone a scout, the combinations are endless! Multiplayer has also improved a lot, you can now make a completely new Transformer character of your own that you can show off on the challenging online battles.

The teaser trailer below shows many things. Be sure to check out Cliff jumper, Jazz, the Dinobots, all other characters that make an obvious appearance, and even the huge and mighty Metroplex! There's also a Gamestop pre-order deal, those who pre-order the game get a new character skin. The character skin is Optimus Prime in his classic G1 look like how he was in the old 1980 cartoon, a good shout out for older fans if ya ask me.

Game comes out August 28th for PS3, 360, and... PC!

New trailer for Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC

the PSP is basically Dead

Yes the handheld is still a huge hit in Japan, but what is its status in America? Or anywhere else for that matter? Reports have revealed that a majority of smaller Gamestop stores are getting rid of anything that is PSP or PSP related for the sake of bringing in the new products such as games for the Vita, 3DS, and even early preparation for the Wii U.

This was clearly going to happen sooner or later, Sony has done very little with the Portable for the last two years or more. It is now clear that Sony has all its handheld interests in the Vita, and that PSP would just die off similar to how the DS killed the Gameboy, or how the 3DS will potentially kill off the original DS...

Despite all this, a few of the Larger Gamestop stores will still have PSP products, but they'll forever be seen as an old school product possibly next to the PS2 and PS one games.

Xenoblade to come to the US?

There's a rumor that Xenoblade, a JRPG published by Nintendo, will finally be seeing a US release some time in April 2012. Previously, it suffered the same fate as Fatal Frame 4 a few years back. Fortunately for Xenoblade however, it got a UK release, making it slightly easier to import with minor soft modding. The only downside with this news is that if it does come out, it will be a Gamestop exclusive item.

I'm really excited for this to come out over here, but if my money is going to Gamestop, it makes me reconsider buying it at all. I don't want this to turn into a Gamestop rant. If you want that, click this link. Despite that fact of the place selling it, I'm still very much so hoping that this news is true. Below is a trailer for the game.



Hopefully some of the other fantastic games that Operation Rainfall are trying to get over here make it as well.
