Turok Gets Slated For The Silver Screen

Hollywood has announced its latest attempt at cashing in on a popular video game franchise. Turok will go into production starring Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers, Special Victims Unit) as the eponymous dino hunter. He already provides the voice of Turok for the games, now he gets to perform some live action, or at least act in front of a green screen. Normally we would give the flick a decent chance at success since Turok started off as a comic book rather than simply a video game. Since the original comic debuted in the early 1950s, it’s a push.

New This Week: Games Worth The Cash, Or At Least A Rental

NBA Ballers: Chosen One
PS3, Xbox 360
On sale: April 21
Chuck D calls the play-by-play action in the latest installment of Ballers. Play one-on-one or two-on-two matches that, when combined with the level of bling, resemble a cross between the Harlem Globetrotters and Pimp My Ride. nbaballers.com

Target: Terror
Wii
On sale: April 22
Old-school light-gun shooter throws it back to the Area 51 coin-op. Too bad you have to buy the Wii Zapper peripheral to get the most out of the game. www.konami.com

Turok
PC
On sale: April 22
PC users get a chance to work out their anti-Flintstoninan aggressions while hunting dinos and bad guys now that Turok has arrived for Windows machines. www.turok.com

Dream Pinball 3D
Wii, DS
This will never replace a mint Guns n’ Roses machine, but in a world that is leaving mechanical coin-ops behind, this game will scratch the pinball itch. www.southpeakgames.com
