Transformers Pinball has the greatest trailer for a pinball machine you’ll see this week

When Transformers director Michael Bay does something, he does it big. Apparently, the same theme would apply to any licensed products based on his films.

We’re going to go out on a limb here and say that the new teaser for STERN Pinball’s upcoming pinball machine based on Bay’s monstrously successful live-action Transformers movie franchise is the coolest trailer for a pinball machine you will see all week.

Actually, you know what? Let’s say it’s the coolest pinball machine trailer you’ll see all month. We’re that confident about it.

In the teaser, a pinball machine designer appears to be working late into the night, surrounded by sketches of Optimus Prime and various other images and figure models drawn from Bay’s Transformers-verse. He hears some strange noises from the warehouse and goes to investigate, only to discover that the Transformers pinball machine has itself transformed — into a large robot with glowing white eyes.

What we don’t learn from the teaser, however, is whether the transforming pinball machine is an Autobot or a Decepticon — which leaves the fate of the poor pinball designer one of life’s little mysteries. Maybe there’s going to be a sequel?

There doesn’t seem to be any release date for Transformers Pinball at this point.

How to sign up for the Hades 2 playtest
Melinoe fighting in a dark forest.

We first saw Hades 2 last year when it was announced, but it has yet to receive a release date. We know it will first be coming to early access, just like the first game, but the only timeframe we have is the second quarter of 2024. It appears that Supergiant might be closing in on that date, however, as you can now sign up for the first playtest and experience the game even before it comes to early access. This technical test is a said to be a major step toward early access to resolve any technical problems before a wider audience can play. Here's how you can sign up to be part of a small team selected to play the game before anyone else.

The best Fallout 4 mods
Everyone's Best Friend

The Fallout games, at least since Fallout 3, have been absolutely massive games in both scale and popularity. The post-nuclear-war setting is rife with interesting stories to experience and monsters to kill. Fallout 4 was the last single-player entry in the series before Fallout 76 took the game into a persistent multiplayer experience. A large appeal of these games is how you are able to actually role-play and immerse yourself in the game world, which isn't so easy with other players jumping around in their underwear. Thanks to mods, it has never been a better time to revisit the last "pure" Fallout game.

Just like Skyrim, Fallout 4 mods are incredibly popular. Some are inspired to fix the numerous bugs and glitches Bethesda games have become famous for, while others look to add new features. As open and dynamic as the base game is, mods just open the door to an almost endless supply of tools you can use to extend the life of your game. With so many mods available, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. We've sorted through all the best Fallout 4 mods out there and came up with the best ones you should install before stepping out of the vault once again.
