Terminator Salvation Game Launched, PC Version Recalled

Posted by Soulskill on from the stop-making-mediocre-tie-ins dept.

On Tuesday, the video game tie-in to the Terminator Salvation movie was launched for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Most reviews pegged the game as solidly mediocre; IGN said, "the action is fairly tame throughout and the cutscenes are stunningly ordinary. And yet despite the poor presentation, there are some clever gameplay elements that make Terminator enjoyable. Too bad that joy only lasts a handful of hours before the credits roll." However, customers who had purchased the retail PC version ran into installation errors, leaving them unable to play the game. Now, publisher Evolved has issued a recall for that version of the game, saying, "a defect occurred during replication," and promising a replacement plan for people who had purchased it.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?

      A little bitter over the fact that there were never any games for Linux are you?
      Seriously don't be bitter because there were never really any PC games on besides WoW on the little penguin.

      Yeaaaa for $60 console games and even more milking, DRM, games tied in with the online system(Xbox Live) and expensive toy add-ons.

      Sad that the PC gaming is going a little downhill and it gets cheered here on Slashdot. The internet bubble is over and a lot of programmers, artist and creative people are losing their jobs to penny paying Indians/Chinese. No reason those people cannot take over those jobs, they are human like everyone else only they will work for pennies and longer hours.
