Remember the good old days of Turok? You know, the turn of the millennium and all that? Well, it's time to relive them as Nightdive Studios faithfully restore Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion.Â
Over the years, the Turok series has lured many gamers into its dinosaur filled worlds for some first-person shooting. Now though, it’s time for something completely different as third-person action-adventure Turok: Escape from Lost Valley brings a slightly more cutesy offering to Xbox One.
After the events of the original Turok, which has also been released on Xbox One today, the time-travelling warrior Turok will face a new threat as he attempts to tidy up the mess The Campaigner caused.
Turok: A gritty story of time travel, battles and conflict between Turok and the evil overlord known as The Campaigner. A story of fighting evil to stop The Campaigner from ripping up the very fabric of time by locating the eight pieces of the ancient Chronoscepter.

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt is very much a game of two halves. The basic idea of hunting dinosaurs is pretty appealing, and doing it in a calm, considered, non-Turok way is quite interesting. On the other side of the scale is the grind required to make progress, the dodgy visuals, the difficulty in finding something the size of a house, and the generally unpolished feel of the experience as a whole.
The ID@Xbox Indie Showcase, on the whole, was a pretty great show. The format certainly needed some tightening up and I would have preferred an evening to smack-dab in the middle of Friday. However, where it truly counts, the games are where the show shined, particularly as there was something for everyone. From point-and-click-adventures to life simulations. From roguelikes to isometric RPGs. From first person shooters to platformers. From... well, you get the picture.
