With a JJ Abrams Star Trek sequel now in the pipe for May 2013, Namco-Bandai and Paramount will release a co-op game early next year.
Originally planned as a prequel to the events of the last Trek movie, it will now be set sometime between the first and second Abrams reboots.
Seems logical.

Picking up a thread on the Bohemia Forums, Tim Edwards at PC gamer writes:
Here’s an upload of a video from a recent ITV documentary into Colonel Gaddhafi’s support of the IRA. It contains shocking footage of a helicopter being shot down using weapons allegedly supplied by that baddie.
Except. Umm. It’s actually ArmA 2.
Words. Fail. What. How. For goodness sake. UK media, can you stop being shit please.
What appears to have happened is that this video, uploaded to Youtube in March, was taken to be actual footage of an 1988 IRA attack on a British Army helicopter. As opposed to animated footage from Bohemia Interactive Studio’s ArmA 2 tactical shooter game.
If you filter out the clatter of mass facepalming, you can probably hear the plaintive yelps of a researcher being kicked.

Warco is a first person shooter game where, rather than an arsenal of guns, the player – a war correspondent – wields a camera. The aim is to document trouble-spots around the world and edit the footage into news reels. Currently in development with no release date, the game is a collaboration between Brisbane game company Defiant Development, filmmaker Robert Connolly and journalist Tony Maniaty.
Record dramatic images of war, save them in-game, then edit the results into a compelling frontline TV news story. Beam the results to global audiences on the web. No two WARCO stories will ever be alike. It’s an edge-of-seat gaming experience – and a powerful entry-level training tool for future combat reporters. WARCO is perfectly timed to take advantage of the convergence of games and movies, journalism and online communities, in a world undergoing massive social, geo-political and technological change.
