It was ten years yesterday that this came out.

It's amazing how high effort WFC and FOC were. And then they never made a third one.

The Armada game on PS2 still holds up pretty well, although the ragdolling when you get knocked around was a bit excessive sometimes.

Let's not forget that this actually exists.

I wonder how much I could get on Ebay for it.

Oh wow, I remember renting that.

I think I still have the Beast Wars Playstation game around here somewhere, too.

I bought it from Blockbuster when they were going out of business and were selling anything. I don't recall ever seeing it in stores, so I wonder if it was a rental only game that I only own now because I got it when they went out of business.

The excessive ragdolling was the best part. There would be so many silly videos about it if the game came out today.

It just got annoying to get punted halfway down a hill and take three or four minutes until Prime decided to stop flopping and get up again, just to get hit with a rocket and get ragdolled down the rest of the hill for good measure. Killed the pace of the game.

On the other hand, Megatron delivering a flying piledriver never got old.

Basically true; Rise of the Dark Spark was a movie tie-in that didn't really continue the story of War and Fall. I know that ship has sailed, but I would have loved to see an actual Rise of Cybertron game.

The game was pretty hard generally. It's been ages since I last played it, but I could swear that it had fall damage in a platforming-heavy game, in addition to just having really beefy, hard hitting enemies.

Some incredible set pieces, though. The Tidal Wave level, for example.

I found my copy of the first Beast Wars game, for Windows. I always thought it was a demo because the levels never ended no matter what I did, but there is absolutely no indication of that anywhere.

I kinda want to try it again and see if I can finally figure out how to make the levels end, but I have no way of doing so. I need to get myself an old computer for this sort of thing.

One thing that game really got right was making the bots feel heavy. Even if it hurts you to ram enemies in vehicle mode, it's too satisfying to resist.
