Turok gets one thumb up and several hours from me the last few nights. Gameplay is smooth and fast and the dinosaurs aren’t as tough to deal with as I expected, but they’re still a fun distraction that can be used for a bit of tactical advantage during a big multiplayer game. Here’s a quick […]
Gamers are getting noticed from all over recently and some of the first companies to notice us were the energy drink makers and convenience stores. How do you pick a drink though? There’s only a few brands in-stock at any store so it’s not like there’s tons of reviews an comparisons.
