Interactive Entertainment is available today for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 Computer Entertainment System and PC. Inspired by the upcoming “Terminator Salvation” film, the game offers players the chance to assume the role of John Connor, a soldier in the Resistance, battling for survival against the far superior forces of Skynet. Taking place two years before the events of the “Terminator Salvation” film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Sony Pictures, players will be lead through a visceral, story and character-driven gaming experience set in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. “Terminator Salvation” the videogame is a third-person action game with concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film while encountering new enemies specifically designed for the game. The game takes the battle for humanity to the next level with iconic enemies, cinematic fight sequences and weaponry, drawn directly from the film, as well as a multi-layered cover mechanic. Grammy® Award-winning hip-hop artist and actor Common reprises his film role as Barnes, a humorous ex-football player who manages to crack jokes while battling an army of relentless Terminators. Actress Moon Bloodgood also returns to her role from the film as Blair Williams, the confident and attractive resistance soldier who thinks Connor should step up as a leader and isn’t afraid to call him on it. Rose McGowan joins the team to voice a role that is exclusive to the game, Angie Salter, a fatalistic ex-elementary school teacher who’s still not adjusted to the harsh realities of war. “Terminator Salvation” the videogame is rated “T” for Teen and is available for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 for the suggested retail price of $59.99. It is also available for PC at retail outlets for the suggested retail price of $49.99. The game can be purchased digitally via Steam, Direct2Drive, BestBuy.com and the Trymedia Network.
