Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (RETRO)


When you think of shooters for the N64, what do you think of? Goldeneye? Yes, yes of course. Perfect Dark? Absolutely. How about Turok? Fuck Yea! I mean sure, Goldeneye is iconic and is probably responsible for shooters being on consoles, and Perfect Dark was so awesome your N64 needed an expansion pack to play it, but you play as agents and only shoot measly little humans (and maybe a few aliens in PD). In Turok, you're a bow and arrow wielding Native American shooting poachers, aliens, and dinosaurs. Oh, I sorry. Did I say dinosaurs? What I meant to say was CYBORG DINOSAURS.......WITH GUNS!!! Fuck Yea! Not good enough? How about alien guns that eviscerate your enemies, including mini-nukes? Still not convinced? How about a boss fight with a robot T-Rex? Yea, I thought so. You know the only thing better than Turok? Umm...okay yea..Goldeneye and Perfect Dark...b-but that's not where I'm going with this. Turok 2! More of everything, and probably the most kick-ass gun ever: the cerebral bore. This gun shoots machines that drills into the cranium of your enemies and squeezes the brains out. After Turok 2, the series went downhill, but we will always the first 2 games and all of it cyborg dinosaur awesomeness.
