Dishonored has been on our radar for a while now. The uncanny look of the strange improvised-mecha Tallboys caught my attention back when they were first shown off. I wasn’t sure how good it would turn out to be, but it looked promising.

Since their humble beginning, the robots in disguise have built a franchise of comics, movies, TV shows, and many video game incarnations. Everything that’s come from the original Transformers series (Generation One, or “G1″) has been hit or miss, but in 2010 High Moon Studios delivered an old school win with Transformers: War for Cybertron, a re-telling of the Transformers’ Cybertronian origins and their epic battle against the Decepticons. Now the legend continues with the release of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and once again the team at High Moon Studios does not disappoint.
