From CVG : "We loved the original Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on N64. So as an Xbox launch title back in 2002, we couldn't wait to stick it on and experience next-gen gaming for the first time. Everyone gathered around the screen in anticipation as the first tribal enemy came rushing out of the thick, blue fog. We pulled out the shotgun and blasted him; blood squirted out his neck and he staggered to the ground in a rag-doll style. It was truly amazing.
Unfortunately, the shine has since gone off the Turok series - Acclaim drove it into the ground with its dodgy sequels. Now Buena Vista Games has picked up the licence, it looks like it's giving the character a complete makeover and taking the series in a whole new direction."
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.
Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-
Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
If Lara Croft can make a comeback, ANYTHING is possible.
But its going to take one hell of a game to wash the stink that was Tobias Bruckner off the franchise....
N64 Version was so much fun, this is good news and those screenshots look great no matter what but espescially considering the fact the game is in very early development considering this is the first announcement.
I NEVER did play a Turok game, so I will keep an eye out for this one.
Streets of Rage,Bloodwake(Xbox), Crimson Skies,Power Stone,Killer Instincts,Jet Force Gemini,Duke Nukem, and many more. The games that came back was Perfect Dark, Tomb Raider, soon to be Turok and Golden Axe.
