Game store employees may be bewildered by a sudden surge of sales and rentals for the Xbox 360 version of the unspectacular Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen video game. That’s because Transformers star and certified Hollywood sex symbol Megan Fox will play on Xbox Live August 29, 2009, as part of Microsoft’s “Game With Fame” campaign.

The gaming sessions allow Xbox Live Gold members to play with the rich and famous from all walks of life. Baseball star Justin Morneau and Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda are among the celebs who have participated. But Megan Fox is probably the hottest star (I’m speaking strictly in terms of current Hollywood popularity, of course) to participate in the program so far.

Fox told family gaming site What They Play that she’s been a gamer for years and lists the Mortal Kombat, Viva Pinata and Lego Star Wars series among her faves. She said she’s excited about the online play in the latest Transformers game, as the first game had no such option.

Her gaming exploits only add to her status as a sex symbol with sci-fi street cred. Rumors have had her cast as superheroines including Wonder Woman and Catwoman, but she is confirmed to star alongside Josh Brolin in the film adaptation of DC Comic Jonah Hex. To participate in this “Game with Fame,” send a friend request to Gamertag Megan Fox 2009.
