The Next Big Thing.
October 17, 2011I think I might have mentioned in a previous update that Transformers: War for Cybertron 2, or Fall of Cybertron as it’s now been officially titled, had been confirmed, and now we’ve got the first teaser trailer showing off the already hinted at but now gloriously revealed leader of the Dinobots, Grimlock. Definitely got high hopes for this one based on how good the first game was, but considering all we’ve got out of this trailer so far is an awesome badass robot dinosaur there’s not really much to be said yet.
Speaking of big surprising and badass reveals, THQ’s WWE ’12 had a big announcement last week, revealing the final character in its impressively massive roster to be Brock Lesnar, former WWE and current UFC juggernaut.
Quite a impressve coup for THQ and a great addition to an already packed roster including all of the WWE’s current roster of superstars as well as a host of wrestling legends such as the Legion of Doom, the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin and the promise of even more grapplers as DLC. The wrestling fan in me is definitely tempted by the roster, but the gaming fan in me is still wary of the so-so quality of previous Smackdown Vs Raw titles. There’s still a month left before release so there’s still plenty of time for them to try and win me over for a day one purchase.
Speaking of day one purchases, the imminent release of Batman: Arkham City is doing everything it can to win over my cash with gushing reviews pouring in from all over the Internet. While I might have mentioned that Arkham Asylum was a little overrated, it was a pretty brilliant game and the idea of more of the same but even better definitely appeals to me. I might resist heading to the shops this Friday but no doubt it’s only a matter of time til I pick this one up. Ditto for next week’s release of Dragon Ball Ultimate Tenkaichi, which seems to be the best Dragon Ball Z game yet judging by the in-game footage that’s kicking around.
Holding on to my money while I can, Zee.
