I was all down on this project until I saw this footage. I have to admit a weekly Terminator does look like it could be good. I just wish it wasn’t couched in the mid 90s forcing all events to take place before the recent Terminator 3.

It should arrive in early 2008, but the real question is how quickly will FOX kill it?

In 1994, when it was still two separate from Square, Enix released this action RPG for the Super Nintendo. Although This game is the second part of a trilogy that includes Soulblazer and Terranigma (only released in Europe), you don’t have to play Soulblazer at all in order to enjoy this game. (In fact, the only link between the two is the appearance of a Soulblazer boss in a hidden level of the game.) Playing as Will, you and your friends travel the world during the age of exploration. You’ll visit real life locales such as Angkor Wat, The Great Pyramid of Egypt, and The Great Wall of China in your quest to stop a comet from approaching Earth. You’ll gain two allies, both with different abilities, whom you can change into when needed. This game stands along side Zelda and Secret of Mana as one of the best action RPGS available on the Super Nintendo. Hopefully we can expect a virtual console release sometime in the near future.

As we’ve seen from Fable, Peter Molyneux has a habit of overestimating his ambitions. However, when he does pull through, some pretty amazing things happen. Case in point, The Movies. One-half sim game and one-half movie development kit, you are tasked with building a movie studio from the ground up. Build sets, create scripts, and keep your stars happy so you can keep producing academy-award winning hits. Starting in the 1920s, you unlock new sets and technologies each decade. Like any good sim, cost management is a must. Pay attention to the news ticker to see what movies will be in demand. Build research facilities to discover new technologies, makeover centers to keep your stars satisfied with their image, and even rehab for users that develop eating or drinking disorders. When making movies, you can edit each scene, add in subtitles, and even record voice overs. You can even take your creations online, and share them with the world. (By the way, check out my film making debut here) It’s a shame this game didn’t take off as well as it could have, but for those who love making their own content, or if you fantasied about being a big name film maker, grab this up.

Yesterday we told you about the viral marketing thats being used to promote The Dark Knight and today its hit its first critical point by revealing the first image of Heath Ledger as The Joker.

This image defines creepy. It is unlike any Joker we’ve ever seen in any Batman movie, show, or comic. Pale skin, scarred face, smile painted on like a child with a crayon. Its so radically different, its likely to cause some fans to grumble about the change, but throwing the self proclaimed Clown Prince Of Crime into the fray of the gritty world of the current Batman just wouldn’t work. This image tells me one thing: This guy is meant to scare, not to cause laughs. This may well be the super psychotic Joker we rarely see in comics who is only funny to himself.

Sylvester Stallone revives another classic character for an over the hill swan song. Much like Rocky Balboa before it, John Rambo sounds ridiculous on paper, but in action looks insanely awesome.

Minimate HQ reports that DST revealed the line up for the second wave of classic Star Trek minimates.

The line up is as follows:

• Battle Damaged Kirk and Gorn
• Mr. Spock (The Cage) & Uhura
• Sulu and Chekov
• Swashbuckling Sulu (Chase)

I have to say that Swashbuckling Sulu is ridiculously awesome.
