Terminator Salvation is a third-person shooter action video game, released on May 19, 2009, to coincide with the release of the film of the same title on the same week. It was developed by The Halcyon Company's gaming subsidiary, Halcyon Games, along with Grin, and published by Equity Games and Evolved Games. It was Grin's last game and was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, mobile, and iOS. It received mostly negative reviews.

Set in 2016 in Los Angeles, the console and PC versions of the game take place between the events of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation and follow John Connor (Gideon Emery), and his team, consisting of Angie Salter (Rose McGowan), Barnes (Common) and Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood). Christian Bale refused to lend his voice and likeness to the game. Rose McGowan voiced the game-exclusive character Angie Salter, who is an ex-high school teacher. Common and Moon Bloodgood voiced their characters from the film (Barnes and Blair, respectively). An animated web series, Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series, takes place before the game, and was released by Machinima in May 2009.
