Warner Brothers has announced a new game based on the upcoming Terminator movie, Salvation. The movie will be the fourth in the series, and the game puts players in control of John Connor, the head of the resistance fighters. The film opens nationwide on May 22, 2009.

The latest issue of EGM has a cover story that many have been waiting for. The new game Watchmen: The End is Nigh, is a prequel in the Watchmen series. The game will be episodic and downloadable, and based on the graphic novel. Once we get our hands on the magazine, we will bring you the info. Comment away if you have any more to add to this announcement. If you are a Watchmen fan, you should be getting excited, by the way.

Acti-Blizz CEO Robert Kotick has responded to Warner Bros. for saying it should receive higher royalties for use of its songs in games like Guitar Hero. Kotick maintains that companies like Warner Bros. are failing to acknowledge the benefits they receive from the exposure and re-exposure of songs from their music catalog to the gaming public. It brings the songs to an audience that may never have listened in the first place. We tend to agree.

"I think his view was...that [Warner Music] should be compensated the way they might for a performance on iTunes. But this is an entirely different business that is very technically complex. We're going to favour those publishers that recognise and appreciate how much we can add value to their artists," said Kotick.

SCi And Warner Brothers announced today that they have partnered in order for both to benefit in areas of the world they were lacking in. They also noted that progress on Tomb Raider: Underworld "remained encouraging," and should see worldwide release before Holiday season 2008.

Another shot has been fired in the Blu-Ray / HD-DVD war. Warner Brothers has decided to go exclusively Blu-Ray. They will phase out HD-DVD production in by May. In Europe and the US, reports say that Blu-Ray is outselling HD-DVD by a substantial margin, although Paramount and DreamWorks are still HD-DVD exclusive.

"The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger," said Warner chairman and CEO Barry Meyer. "We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will further the potential for mass market success and ultimately benefit retailers, producers, and most importantly, consumers."

Warner Brothers has officially announced Project Origin, the proper sequel to the hit FPS F.E.A.R. The name of the game was reached via a gamers contest where gamers submitted their suggestions for sequel names. Project Origin won out. Click read more for the full info.
