Stop the Cavalry.

Well if you loved War for Cybertron and Transformers in general as much as I did that video might make up for how unforgivably dead I’ve let this place get over the last few months. I know I’m now fully aroused and ready for another trip to Cybertron, hopefully with a longer campaign than last time and as I’m feeling greedy hopefully with plenty more playable Transformers too.

If, like me, your lust for Gears of War 3 had run dry in recent weeks due to competition from the scores of new games that came out through November, the latest DLC instalment might be just what it takes to win you back over. I know it’s already been out for a week but in true GamerZee tradition, here’s the trailer.

I really enjoyed RAAM’s Shadow, it’s a great little campaign chapter that really makes itself stand out from the main game. It’s nice to see some development go to some of the secondary characters in the series’ expansive cast, and it’s awesome to see RAAM, big boss of the first Gears, stomping around again. The final boss fight is actually tense and satisfying, something which had somewhat eluded Gears 2 and 3 until now. It’s great to see Gears 3 get some really meaty DLC seeing as how the first pack, the Horde Command Upgrade, was so light on substance. I’ll be interested in seeing what Epic confirm next, though chances are good we’ll be looking at a big map and characters pack for online play or an add-on to the Beast game mode.

Time for a quick run-down of my latest gaming adventures. WWE 12 was a surprising step-up for the series but still ultimately failed to really win me over. I still prefer the gameplay of WWE All Stars but it’s hard to argue with the incredible depth of 12′s creation tools. With the inclusion of create-an-arena they’re really reaching the point where you can customise just about everything in the game, which is definitely awesome if you’re into that kind of thing.

And I finally picked up Sonic Generations, which I’m enjoying quite a bit. A very nostalgic trip through my long thought to be forgotten childhood. A little short maybe, but with plenty of challenges to keep you revisiting it.

That should about do it for now. As always I’ll try to update this place more regularly, and as always you should be sure to check out www.spong.com where I’m sure to have more stuff go up in the near future. I’ll definitely aim for one more update here before New Years.

Happy holidays, Zee.
