10 Incredible Video Games You Can't Buy Anymore
2. Transformers Devastation - Multiplatform
From the moment you hear the theme song of Transformers Devastation, you know you're in for an eighties-tastic, robot-punching experience that'll transport you back in time to the blissful nostalgia of Saturday mornings in your Ghostbusters pyjamas, eating Ricicles, and tormenting your little sister by trapping her fingers in the die-cast metal mechanism of your Optimus Prime action figure until she had to be taken to A&E.
Ah, simpler times.
Platinum Games is - Babylon's Fall aside - known as the studio to call when you want to make a 10/10 fast-paced action game, and Transformers Devastation has that in truckloads. Taking place in several cityscape arenas, you'll play as the Autobots and smash through hundreds of Decepticon forces by shooting, kicking, and transform-powersliding in truck form.
(As a wee aside, did it not annoy anyone else that Decepticons always lost fights, despite being fighter jets, orbital cannons and XXL kill machines, whilst the Autobots could only turn into Vauxhall Novas, hairdryers, and Breville toastie makers?)
Widely regarded to be one of the best Transformers games ever released (and a damned good action game, full-stop), it's utterly devastating (yes, pun intended) that the Activision-Hasbro licence ended, stopping all future sales of this absolute Prime title.
