Since the great Tim Schafer/Double Fine incident earlier this year we’ve seen a lot of projects go the Kickstarter route. Most of these project have been of various genres and game types, some of which were beyond cool while others came across as somewhat interesting if a tad familiar.

To a lot of gamers video games have been a daily part of our lives for an incredibly long time, or at least since we were old enough to hold a controller, mash some buttons, and deduct that shooting the bad guy or repeatedly hitting them guarantees us complete victory.

The Transformers franchise may have been somewhat sullied by a movie trilogy that was the embodiment of dumb and abysmal (at least to fans of the original property), but at least the Transformers are still rolling out in some hopefully good video games.  Besides the forthcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Activision has just announced a new Transformers game that may be geared towards the younger gamers but aren’t we all young at heart?

In a move that’s certainly to bring everyone’s ‘WTF’ meters to maximum, Nintendo announced today its follow up to last year’s epic duo Pokémon Black and White. The most interesting thing so far, has to be the titling. Bucking the previous conventions of the series (following up with a new color to follow up with the previous two) the series now gets its first “sequel.” Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are apparently the next two games launching from the long-standing series, and will be releasing in Japan later this summer.
