206w ago - If you've been waiting on a PlayStation 3 purchase, it's likely that all you need is the proper incentive. And if you don't want to wait for that price drop any longer, perhaps a nice movie/game bundle will make you take the plunge.

To quote: The new bundle is set to include an 80GB PlayStation 3 console, along with Terminator Salvation, due for release tomorrow, Friday 12th June 2009, and a copy of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on Blu-ray.

The bundle will launch on June 26th, 2009, with a Recommended Retail Price of £309.99.

This latest bundle offer joins a long line of pre-packaged PS3 hardware and software, and will no doubt help to raise the profile of the system on UK shop shelves, but that long-awaited price-drop is still top of many gamers' lists.

209w ago - Velvet Assassin Review by Shummyr:

Name of Game: Terminator Salvation
Publisher: Warner Home Video Games
Release Date: 5/19/2009
Genre: Action
Player: 1 or 2
Buy/Don't: No
Overall Rating: 7.0
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC

I would like to start off and say this is a very excellent game to rent, but it is too short to warrant buying.

It will take you 4-6 hours to complete the game and there is virtually no replay value with this game.

What more can you say other than this is a movie game. The AI is intelligent and predictable at the same time.

The weapons are there and the ammo is plentiful, and different weapon types you get include a shotgun, machine gun, assault rifle, rpg and gernade launcher. For gernades you get frag gernades and pipe bombs.

Theres 9 levels for this game.. the first one is easy, the ninth level is easy, the levels are the same but the AI and scenery change and get a little bit harder.

The machines are pretty much all the same. They are all mechanical monsters with different weak spots and a weak story. There is a boss for every level, typically in this game you just shoot rockets or machine guns at them...

215w ago - Just before the weekend a new Terminator: Salvation 2016 trailer was made available courtesy of GameTrailers.

For those curious, the game will be hitting the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 console on May 19, 2009.

The video's caption simply reads as follows:

John Connor is our last hope but you must guide him to salvation.

218w ago - Taking place two years before the movie of the same name, Terminator Salvation: The Video Game puts players in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles at the time AI-overlord Skynet rises to power.

This means series hero John Connor is still a legend-in-the-making, and time-traveling Terminators have yet to learn the catchy Spanish phrases that would make them famous.

To quote: We watched a live demo of Salvation earlier this month, taking in the shooter's "cover and flank" battle system, the cinematic, HUD-less interface and the constant barrage of that thematic riff.





As much as we love hearing the tune, we're not too enamored, thus far, with the game's presentation regarding its generic weapons arsenal and bland on-rails sections; however, that opinion might change once we finally get some hands-on time at GDC next week.

For now, here's a trailer and some screen shots to check out!
