Turok: Origins will revisit the dinosaur hunter in a third-person shooter with co-op

But can you talk to the dinos? You then slurp up their dino DNA to upgrade your character. Come and watch these crimes against nature in the trailer below. This isn’t the first time the series has been revived. A reboot simply titled Turok came out in 2008 to mixed reviews. How times change, eh? We’d never see ruthless layoffs like that today! If I am cranky about the jungly shooter, kindly forgive me....

We're getting an Okami 2, with Hideki Kamiya at the reins

I am tickled pink, I tell you. Find a trailer below. Now, a new adventure in the same vein as Okami has been set in motion. Perhaps a bit too busy for comfort, next to the crowded but crisp scrollwork of the first one. I was not expecting a new Okami game in this, the year 2024. (I wasnt expectinga new Onimusha, either. Nice work, Capcom.) But my goodness, it has vision and heart and imagination in spades....

World Of Tanks creators reveal Steel Hunters, which isn't quite World Of Mechs

To get the obvious question out of the way: why not call it World Of Mechs? There are two broad types of upgrade material. Upgrade cores, meanwhile, raise your shield, damage and health pools. Beyond the race to upgrade, you’ve got a number of routes to victory. This transforms you into a steel-shouldered Olympian, raining hellfire upon the other mechs. As for the characters, they span a range of classes or playstyles familiar from other shooters....

Mafia: The Old Country release date shrinks to summer 2025

Marvel Rivals review: it's like Overwatch, if Overwatch was overcomplex and frequented Comic Con

And in some ways, it is. Fights are like if you took a MOBA and forced both teams to bash heads constantly. Or you push the cart while tanky Hulk absorbs bullets with his biceps and John Marvel snipes from afar. I understand why it’s supremely popular at the moment and yet, I really don’t. Marvel Rivals does feel very much like the result of a corporate pitch designed to hit all the keywords....

Marvel Rivals tier list of best characters

But will that stop us? And not just because Marvel fans be thirsty. He simply does too many things extremely well. His other abilities all serve to make him far more survivable than you’d expect for a dedicated healer. And with a good team taking the heat off him, that’s a tall order. He’s not easy to master, but he is a master when it comes to Duelists. And she does excel at that, very much, so....
