This strikes me as nothing more than sheer desperation on Activision's part.

This is the perfect holiday gift for people who like to give out things that are terrible.

I think a lot of companies do this sort of thing for the holidays. Y'know how Xmas = suckers? Yeah, there'll be plenty a grandma too stupid to know better... :roll:

Yeah, like my mom to my kid. Luckily, she doesn't know he likes TFs, and the kid is too young to even play these games. But man, these do pray on the feeble and clueless, don't they?

I was gonna ask if anyone played these and had some good words, but I'm pretty sure these were terrible (i.e. shovelware).

I suppose if one were to find these at slashed prices, they would make for reasonable entertainment for young ones? :???:

To be fair, Cybertron Adventures isn't that bad as far as rail shooters go. The real problem with it is that it is a poor-man's War for Cybertron. Had the developers been more creative with it, it could have been War for Cybertron from the perspective of off-screen characters. That might have been neat.
