Terminator Salvation

TERMINATOR SALVATION
WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE
(XBOX 360, PS3, PC)

This third-person shooter takes place two years before this summer’s cinematic installment. John Connor is deep in the minutia of trying to fight the powerful Skynet robots.

Rocks: The odds are not in your favor, so you’ve got to bring out the big guns. There is a 30-foot Terminator that’s wicked-ass scary and a spider like one that’s just plain creepy. The seductive Rose McGowan voices one of the characters (though she’s not in the film).

Flops: Los Angeles gets destroyed again. Those Terminators always return. An Easter egg featuring Christian Bale’s on-set “fuck”-filled rant is (we’re guessing) not included.
