Between Disney's 1982 classic Tron and its flash 2010 sequel lies Tron: Evolution, the video game that seeks to bridge the gap between the two films. This is one shaky bridge. More »

If the creators of the next Pirates of the Caribbean game had shown me the game's ship combat, I might not have been looking at their game and thinking "Fable clone." More »

But after this direct HDMI feed from Turok, my mind is mush. The opening blacks look far better on the 360, but you lose sight of any contrast difference by the middle of the clip comparisons. Sometimes the PS3 has better textures, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the PS3's full RGB gamut offers colors that pop a bit more, sometimes it doesn't. Bottom line: if you have Turok for either of these next gen systems, you're doing fine. And it seems that publishers are getting far better about their cross-platform quality control. More »

Movie Edition at your local Gamestop, don't forget to bring an extra Lincoln with you. If you drop a fiver on a pre-order for the reimagined Turok, you'll walk out with a demo of the game and a Turok t-shirt that will either be too big, too tight or too hideous for public display. IGN says that those unwilling to set foot in a Gamestop can always cool their jets until December, when Best Buy will get its own copies of the Turok demo. More »

We were discussing our personal choices for E3 2007's game of the show at breakfast last week when I started in on some diatribe about how the current glut of first-person shooters—this fall being especially saturated—gave me pause about namechecking an FPS as a "best of" standout. All these games are simply following a too-similar formula, deviating from tired gameplay within a 10% variance. Later that day, I played Turok for the Xbox 360 and started to reevaluate my opinion.
