Recently, he spent some time with everybody's favourite dinosaur hunter, Turok, and has survived to tell the tale. With a solid, totally un-confusing storyline, a solidly B-list cast, and just a little bit of pressure from gamers who remembered the glory days of the original game back in the late 90s, let's see what he had to say.
With the decline of the arcades in the late 90s, Acclaim was in a bit of trouble, as much of their business during that decade was centred on delivering home ports of popular arcade titles. Salvation came in the form of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the Nintendo 64 in early 1997. The game (which was based on a relatively obscure comic license) hit in the middle of one of the console's infamous software droughts, and its impressive graphics and non-stop dino-blasting action proved to be immensely popular. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil followed in December 1998, well and truly outselling its predecessor and receiving much critical acclaim for its amazing graphics and solid multiplayer mode (though many of those reviewers now claim they do not like the game despite the scores it received).
