Yeah that dinosaur looks like he's about to eat that hamburger.
A new dinosaur games comes out at the end of this week, but it's kind of the opposite of Turok. Yoshi's New Island! Yay!

Bad T-Rex! Bad! Leave my Chick-fil-A sandwich alone!
Yes, I bought Turok: Evolution for original Xbox today at the only retro game shop in my area, Jay St. Video Games. Thankfully the store is now fully stocked and has just about anything you could want. It took me two minutes to find the game on the shelf, judge whether it had the booklet inside by feeling its weight, and take it to the register.
Tal'Set (who will become Turok) rides this pterosaur in this game. Cool!
A friend of mine at work was telling me about the segments where you fly on a pterosaur saying it was pretty good. I remember playing the demo for this game way back when it came out in 2002 and getting mauled by a bunch of velociraptors. I think I was playing it way too run-and-gun when I should have played it more sneak-and-snipe.
I'm getting excited thinking about all the dinosaurs in this game. Maybe there will be a Brontosaurus or a Stegosaurus! Oh my dino nerdiness is in high gear thinking about this.
I remember playing the Gamecube version I think at a Gamestop kiosk and finding it ugly and boring, later seeing it torn apart by video game industry critic velociraptors, which was a shame, because I always want more games with dinosaurs.
Apparently, the game had mixed or positive reviews, with scores in the 6-7 range according to Wikipedia, so it must be I was remembering the fact Electronic Gaming Monthly gave bad games the Tobias Bruckner award based on the villain in Evolution.
I remember bad reviews too. Another reason I didn't continue playing it back then. Remember that game BC? It was cancelled but it took place in a prehistoric time full of dinos. I wanted to play that.
Ah, Acclaim. Haven't seen that name in a long time. I always think of Extreme G when I see that logo.
My only experience with Turok was playing the original at a friend's house with a bunch of cheat codes on. There's one point where you go in a cave and see tons of bodies hanging from the ceiling before you fight a big T-rex. But the codes to give them big heads and make them dance kind of ruined the scary atmosphere lol.
I remember playing that game! I remember really enjoying it, although I never beat it because I didn't own it. Just the whole concept of playing a dinsouar hunter was awesome. it looks like ass now, but I remember it looking some awesome then. I never owned a N64, so I hadn't played the originals.
