Terminator: Salvation PC game recalled

Once again, the PC becomes the poor cousin no one really cares about as faulty Terminator: Salvation games roll out to stores.

The movie tie-in game for Terminator: Salvation has hit the shelves, and already it's proving a less than stellar performer.

This time the problem is that while the PS3 and 360 versions of the game play fine (well, as fine as they can - see our review later today), the PC version is riddled with bugs and nigh impossible to install thanks to CD replication issues. Here's the word from the official forums:

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.

Digital distribution seems unaffected, however, so if you bought the game on Steam you should be cool.
