Terrible frame rates, Insanely long load times
Quicksave feature is broken, Cheap deaths, Problematic artificial intelligence, Underwhelming production values and poor performance.

The most popular genre of them all, the First Person Shooter, ruled the roost last year with a bunch of AAA games like Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, BioShock, Half Life Episode 2 and so on. This year, on the other hand, hasn’t been too kind to this...

Turok is a noble effort to rebirth the acclaimed license of its original counterparts. In some ways it accomplishes this, but in others it fails. I can only recommend this one as a first step in creating better sequels and in that regard, I wish...

Turok is one of those games that has me divided. On the one hand, its a generic first-person shooter with a stereotypical muscle-bound hero, a formulaic storyline and mindless action. On the other hand, it has dinosaurs stomping around, an excellent...

Not the conventional dino-hunting game of yore, but the dinosaur combat is the more exciting part of this testosterone-fuelled shoot-‘em-up, that only just manages to rise above the conventional FPS. Touchstone - Turok price Buy Turok securely...
