Here's more info on the game.

Bob Orci made some interesting comments reguarding the canonicity of the game here:

Orci: So I would say that what’s going to be different about this game is that it’s going to fit into our new universe. It’s going to fit into the Star Trek that we were lucky enough to generate, and it’s going to be a story that happens within that universe and that story is not going to be fan fiction. It’s going to be a story that fits into our movies, and fits into between the first two movies. The things that we are thinking about for this game very much fall into what can happen between the two movies, and that’s exciting for me as a fan.
Kat: So when I watch the second movie. will I be rewarded in some way for having played the game?
Orci: Absolutely, that’s exactly the point. We would not allow a game to go out if it was not somehow a part of the continuity.

Orci: True fans will tell you that canon is only what’s filmed. I’m not an authority on what is canon. However, I will tell you that this may be the first game that falls within the parameters of the people who are in charge of canon for now; the “supreme court,” as we call ourselves because we are the ones in charge of Star Trek for now. We won’t be in charge forever, but for right now we’re deciding what canon is, so I can tell you this is the first time where the game itself is generated by the people who are deciding canon and we generated the game to fit within canon.

I'd love to see the story (written by Marianne Krawczyk, under the supervision of Kurtsman and Orci) adapted into a novel. I can't imagine running around for hours shooting everything that moves truly fitting into the Trek universe. But a novel, cutting out most of the mindless shooting and inanity that makes up the gameplay (and I say that as a fan of videogames), is another matter.

In the past we've had novelizations of Star Trek: Klingon, Starfleet Academy and a novel based on Star Trek Online. There was also a comic book adaptaion of Voyager: Elite Force. I haven't read ST: Klingon or the EF comic, but I've read and enjoyed the rest.

I cannot tell you how awesome it is to see that someone behind-the-scenes finally gets modern marketing synergy. The big franchises of the last decade have all taken advantage of a variety of media, from film to books to comics to video games, and Star Trek was always behind the curve. A welcome development.

Hell, i'm glad to see there's a woman involved.
