Sony Launches Terminator Twitter Game

Sony Pictures Releasing International has debuted the first online Twitter game based on the upcoming Terminator Salvation film.

The game, at Twitter.com/Resistance2018, allows players to try to decode messages and earn points to rank in the Resistance Army. In addition, a blog provides game rules and a leader board.

"Twitter users can join John Conor in the war against the machines by following the tweets from @Resistance2018," says Sal Ladestro, executive vice president of marketing, Sony Pictures Releasing International. "In the fight against Skynet and the Terminators, mass communication is vital, so it's no surprise that the resistance would turn to Twitter. We think this is the perfect environment for the Terminator game as it allows users to interact with the movie, their friends and other game players instanteously."

Terminator Salvation stars Christian Bale and hits U.S. theaters on May 21.
