“Transformers” Game Updates
After Atari’s big press event on Wednesday, a few games websites have provided updates of the Transformers game based in the Armada universe. The big news is that the name of the game has changed to just “Transformers” and there is likely to be extras on the disk about the production of the game. Gamespot have provided a preview here and have an interview with a developer if you subscribe. IGN have some more screenshots for you to admire. Just look at Tidal Wave!
