Transformers: Age of Extinction

The official movie tie-in for Transformers: Age of Extinction is now available on the App Store. The game is another endless runner title. I'm not sure why all games based on movies go this route, but this seems to be current trend. Transformers: Age of Extinction is free and supports all iOS devices running iOS 7.0 or later.

Here are this week's games and apps released for the iPad through 06/15/14 to 06/21/14. Apple's Free App of the Week is Fish Out of Water. This is an odd choice by Apple, since Halfbrick Studios already made all their games, including this one, free on the App Store two days ago.

As expected, Transformers: Age of Extinction is getting a mobile game tie-in. DeNA and Hasbro announced that the game will be available for iOS, Android and Windows devices sometime this summer. Besides a vague release date DeNA did not reveal many other details. The official press release describes the game "an explosive interactive entertainment experience". You can also get a "rare in-game weapon" by pre-registering for the game at Transformer-Mobile.com.

The Michael Bay directed movie is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2014. Age of Extinction is the fourth movie in the Transformers franchise. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz. Here's the trailer.
