Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The battle for earth rages on as Activision Publishing, Inc. has announced today that the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Character and Map Pack Plus is available now for download on Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 throughout Europe. The massive Downloadable Content (DLC) pack will include eleven playable characters, three all-new maps for online multi-player game modes, and a brand new Expert difficulty setting for the single-player campaigns.

This mid-year update allows Plastic Wax to reveal 2009 collaborations that had been kept under wraps for months: the opening cinematic and unlockable cinematic for Activision's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game, two different thirty-second television spots that mix live action and CG (which involved animating the classic Slimer character) for Atari's Ghostbusters, and the E3 2009 CG trailer to launch the new Relic/THQ title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Plastic Wax also has a number of unannounced videogame projects in the works, as well as a feature length film.
