The Turok series sees a fantastic update in Acclaim Entertainment’s first Turok release on the brand new and impressive 6th generation consoles. Turok: Evolution is a prequel to the first Turok: Dinosaur Hunter game with updated controls, graphics, and gameplay. While the story mode is still the bread and butter of the franchise, Turok: Evolution’s multiplayer mode makes excellent use of 13 maps and a 4-player split screen. The days of Turok 64 are long gone.

Top 10 Favorite Games of All Time – Nerdberry
Nerd Bacon co-founder and lead author Nerdberry covers his Top 10 Favorite Games ever. Nothing is off limits but the list is not solely restricted to wildly influential games only. Instead, Nerdberry’s list covers 10 of his favorite games of all time. These games reflect some nostalgic memories that blew him away to some more recent games that are equally as impressive.
Sonic Unleashed – PlayStation 3
Dr. Robotnik is up to no good yet again, but this time he’s really got Sonic by the hedgehog balls. After stealing all of Sonic’s Chaos Emeralds and capturing Sonic, Eggman casts Sonic from his spaceship down onto a planet where he just unleashed a giant villain known as Dark Gaia. Can Sonic restore the power to the Chaos Emeralds in time to stop the Eggman from completing his diabolical misdeeds?
Sonic Unleashed sees a new side of Sonic. During the day Sonic is his normal self, spin-dashing his way through loop-de-loops and bashing badniks, but the night turns Sonic into something even he’s not used to: a Werehog! With razor-sharp claws and arms that stretch 4 times their length, Sonic finds himself destroying enemies with his fists rather than his wit and speed.
