In some ways 2009 has been kind to the movie game genre. We've seen a number of blockbuster titles for some old and new movies and the majority have not been the stinkers of the past. Maybe studios are starting to learn that movie does not necessarily have to equal cash in. However, our opinion on this changed somewhat when we loaded Terminator Salvation by GRIN.

Terminator Salvation puts you once again in the role of John Conner, a human targeted by Skynet (for those who have been asleep for the last 20 or so years, Skynet is a computer based system gone sentient on the world). This isn't a surprise considering the Terminator universe, but this is the first indication of the complete lack of originality in this title. The storyline of the game revolves around saving some survivors, left for dead by the resistance fighters and how John and his cohorts proceed to rescue them. Cliché indeed and you will not want to play this game for the story.
