The greatest transformation; your perception of licenced games
When the first live-action Transformers movie burst on to the scene, it re-ignited a sheltered ember that would grow to a roaring fire of fanboyism. Out of the woodwork burst geeks in Autobot and Decepticon t-shirts, spouting epitaphs from the series and debating where Optimus Prime’s trailer goes when he transforms. Then something terrible happened, 2 really bad video games and an even worse film sequel came along and destroyed any hope the fans had for a true return of their beloved Transformers. Now, with the franchise about to fall back in to irrelevance High Moon Studios have come along and delivered a game that gives every Transformers fan something to get excited about.

Like that cute chick from summer camp, Blur matures racing-combat to a beautiful conclusion
Fast cars and projectiles have gone together since a particular plumber figured out a turtle shell to the back of the head really hurts. Since the racing-combat genre’s inception there have been plenty of attempts to mature the gameplay, but the over-the-top nature of cars racing to the death has always felt a little juvenile. Through it’s visual design Blur brings a surprising elegance to motorized mayhem and delivers an experience that’s equal parts fine-tuned street racing and destroy-em-all destruction.
The gracious folks at @ATIGraphics have given us 5 “Keys to the City” for the upcoming thugs vs cops MMO All Points Bulletin. It’s a great way to get in on the game before it’s out.

The XBLA hit comes to the PC for all your clicking pleasure
Magic Online has existed for 8 years now and has provided players of the collectible card game a near-perfect virtual version of their favourite game. It’s ironic then that Duels of the Planeswalkers, an XBLA title that sacrifices substance for style surpassed Magic Online as the most popular online card game. Now Wizards of the Coast is bringing an updated version of the XBLA hit to the PC via Steam download, complete with the entire first expansion pack but faces the challenge of offering a simpler experience to those who already have an online option.

The Prince returns to his roots for another adventure
The Prince of Persia series has gone through a series of changes over the years. Between the jump to 3D, The Warrior Within’s angsty outburst and 2008’s artistic departure it’s safe to say the franchise has been experimental. However, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is easily the most recognizable entry in the series and tries to capture the essence of the Prince of Persia franchise better than any before it.

Sam Fischer may be old, but he still doesn't take flack from anyone
Sam Fischer may be pushing 55, but he is nowhere near retired. The spy that put Ubisoft Montreal on the map is back for his 5th mission. Rebuilt from the ground up Splinter Cell Conviction is unlike it’s predecessors in a sense that feels more evolved than reset and dances a dangerous line between satisfying the long-time series veterans, and a whole new action-centric audience.
Power your ship with your very own soundtrack
Sometime between 13 Guitar Hero games and The Beatles: Rock Band the music-game genre hit a tipping point and when anything tips it’s likely to spill. Beat Hazard is what you would get if some of that music-game genre juice landed on a copy of Geometry Wars. It’s a twin-stick shooter at heart, but uses your own tracks to stylize and emphasize the combat.
