The game is ok. It is just another typical FPS to me. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the level designs, but with the FPS genre strangling the video game market at the moment. It can be hard to distinguish one experience from the other. The only aspect of this game which separates it from another mediocre Fps is the dinosaurs and setting. The graphics are standard unreal engine. some lighting effects and designs, however, do make the visual package appealing. If you are like me, and focus on single player games. There is nothing here warranting a purchase. I've noticed other posters complaining about the length of the game. It is very very short, but again, that has, unfortunately, become apart of the standard for FPS games. Its definitely worth a rental, it is pretty fun , but just another FPS.

Yeah, I don't like the new atmosphere of the show. I liked both the first set and the last set much better. It projected their dry humor much more. This new set adds nothing to the personality of the show or to them. Well besides a lot of lights. I liked the more darker theme they had going on that matched them very well.
And the opening to the show is so uninspired. I dislike both the music and the random clips they put in there.
Oh yeah.......Turok. Played some of the demo.......was meh....ok. Won't be getting it.
I'll watch when I run on the treadmill but other than that, I dont like it all.
Watched it today, and I was like, "wow, I really like this episode", but thats because they reviewed more than 1 game.
I like their reviews but I think because of the short time constraint, they sometimes are contridicting.
For example, they reviewed Crysis and gave it a 3 out of 5 but the reason was because it felt like Far Cry and it was linear, but they give Turok the same score stating that there is obvious gameplay flaws with it. Then go around and give COD4 5 out of 5 (which probably deserves that), but dont mention the fact that the game is completely linear and is the same COD game since the Medal Of Honor. To me, that doesnt make sense.
I dont know that i would call COD4 the same game as the others in the franchise. The gameplay and story is diverse...,anything but linear. I think they gave Turok such a mediocre score, because it was just another mediocre shooter. As they pointed out, the targeting system was frustrating, more so than it needed to be. They said the targeting system is what kept it from earning more than three stars. Personally,i think, Even if the targeting was more friendly, it wouldnt have been more deserving of a higher rating. I think, sometimes the reviews on x-play seem contradicting because they only have 2-3 minutes for each review.

Yeah, I hate the 5 star rating. It doesnt leave anything.
Crysis is obviously better than Turok, but has the same score. It wouldnt be a problem if they're was a written review of it, but its only a 2 minute segment so we dont know the difference.
Rage, are you serious saying that COD4 isnt a linear game? The main complaint of the game is that the same guys come out at the same time everytime you play it.
The only game I can think of is STALKER that is linear, but not completly. You can go anywhere in the game world but you still have to complete missions.
No, i think they made a decent effort in keeping the story non linear. Of course, the re-spawning enemies is a frustrating and annoying complaint, but the alternating perspectives, flashbacks and gameplay helped it feel fresh.

Just picked up Turok 360 for $5.69 @ gamestop today.
I traded in mass effect and assassins creed. The store had a "$5 off" promotion of some sort going on and got another 1.80 off just by using my Edge-Card.
kinda of an ok deal, i guess. Maybe cause i've always liked Turok, well, just the first 2 games (pt1 and seeds of evil (especially), and i can't wait to play this one for the 360.
I saw Turok playing on some monitors at gamestop and man does the game look good. I read the instructional booklet and it looks like the controls kinda play like Halo and Call of Duty.
I love how you can use dino's to attack others (mercs and other dino's) while you sneak in and out of places cause of it.

Meh, not me, its a waste of space unless you know your going to play them again.
Back in the day, I would keep them because I could only afford a few of them, so I just rented alot. But now, unless the game is really good, like Gears of War or Bioshock and I know I'll play it again, I always trade it in.
I always trade in my console games, but rarely trade in my PC. Alot of them are awesome. Wouldnt want too, and in a funny sense, I always like to play the old PC games on new hardware.
