The PC version of Terminator: Salvation shipped with what they call a "game breaking glitch," apparently. Word is that the game's installation is actually broken, and it's impossible to get the game working. It's not an isolated issue, as these problems usually are, the game is actually completely unplayable on the PC, and the developer has issued a full recall.

This is one of those things that game testers should look out for. It's also one of those things that makes people hate PC gaming. I give it a week before people crack open the code and realize it was broken by some security issue, be it SecuROM or Skynet.

Below is the developer's statement, taken from the game's forums. Did anyone have this issue, or were you vigilantly waiting for our review before knowing if you should bite?

Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game. The Xbox 360 and PS3 are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies. The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days. A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.
