Transformers: Dark of the Moon | Game

For sheer effect, Michael Bay should have had Transformers: Dark of the Moon shown last June 15, when there was actually and literally a dark of the moon owing to a lunar eclipse.  At least his movie would have gotten one thing right.

But then again, there's already Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class at the cinemas.  Three action superhero movies showing simultaneously is much too much.

Movie-goers (assuming they are gamers too) might be better off spending their precious moolah on the new tie-in video game (of the same title as the film) by High Moon Studios which released War for Cybertron last year to a generally favorable reception.  

So far, the reviews for the new Transformers game, Dark of the Moon are mixed.  The good: outstanding gritty graphics, versatile shooting capabilities, and a neat multi-player mode.  The bad: unremarkable soundtrack and an essentially unsatisfying shortness in the whole gameplay (18 missions all in all).  

Don't worry good ol' Peter Cullen still lends his voice to the franchise.
