 "E3 2006: Turok")
Dinosaur hunting season will be upon us in a couple of months with Turok being released on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 later this year. Here’s a slight update on the game since we kind of skipped this one during our E3 coverage. The game will utilize the Unreal 3 engine and this time round, the bulk of Turok’s enemies will be highly trained mercenaries instead of the highly trained T-Rexes he’s used to hunting. For all those interested in the story, get ready to be hit by a big fat cliche:
Turok is an epic, story-driven FPS game set on a dark, mysterious planet in the near future. Players take on the role of Joseph Turok, a former Black Ops commando, now part of an elite Special Forces squad on a mission to take down a war criminal on a genetically-altered planet. After the ship is shot down while approaching the planet, Joseph Turok must use his instincts and elite military training to elude an army of well-trained soldiers, and the ravenous, unpredictable creatures that populate the dangerous environment.
No mention of a PC release till now, which kinda sucks, but we’ll keep you updated as and when more’s out. Head over here for some
high-def dino goodness

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
