from SlashGamer:
Another trailer for the Terminator: Salvation video game has been released. The clip is showing off various actions scenes from the game, while playing the theme from to the films. Some footage from the video we have already seen, while other stuff is new.
Overall, I don’t think the game is going to be a five-star title, however, I do believe it’s looking better than most video games based off a movie. The studio behind the game is GRIN, which are a pretty talented group of guys. They are the team who developed the new Wanted: Weapons of Fate and Bionic Commando.
One thing is for sure, anytime you play the classic Terminator theme to anything, it makes it look a hell-of-a-lot better than it actually is.

From 1Up.com:
Sierra had their shot to make something out of the Jason Bourne movies. Now Electronic Arts is getting their chance at turning the series into as big a hit with gamers as it is with moviegoers.
Eurogamer brings word that Electronic Arts has acquired the game rights to not just the Bourne series, but the entire works of Robert Ludlum. Swedish developer Starbreeze, who have previously brought us excellent shooters like Chronicles of Riddick, will now get a crack at developing a successful Bourne adaptation.
Starbreeze should probably do fine with the Bourne books. And if we’re really lucky, they’ll look into making a few other games based on Robert Ludlum books. We’ve heard, for instance, that the Parsifal Mosaic is pretty darn good. Do you have any favorites from Robert Ludlum?
Painkiller Black Edition is a perfect fit for GOG.com with its old-school action-heavy gameplay and top-notch visuals. The critically acclaimed game pits players against hordes of hellacious beasts, with little more than weapons of incredible destructive power at their disposal. Panzer Elite Special Edition is perfect for armchair generals and generally anyone who’s always wanted to drive a tank but couldn’t stomach the idea of sitting with a couple of other men in the tank’s steamy, tight and uncomfortable confines. The game allows players to command a platoon of US or German tanks as they relive some of the most intense tank battles of World War II.
“Adding JoWood Productions’ games is another exciting step toward becoming the ultimate place for fans of classic PC games,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. “All of these games have found large fanbases around the world, and we hope that we can show off these great titles to even more people.”
“Promoting our games over the GOG.com network is a great opportunity for JoWooD not just to increase sales, but even more to distribute our classic titles to gamers who love to play those “good old games”. As JoWooD has to offer an extensive product line, we are confident that the gog.com community is a perfect target for our titles”, said Georg Klotzberg, Head of Sales of JoWooD Productions.
