Turok demo wanders into North America's XBLM

by Dustin Burg { Jan 29th 2008 at 10:00AM }

Someone must have informed Touchstone today that their Turok demo still hadn't been released to the North American XBLM even though it has been readily available to other Live regions two weeks ago. We say this, because magically today said Turok demo became available to United States, Canada and Mexico Xbox Live members. We're guessing that the two week delay was due to North America's generally negative cultural view on killing dinosaurs without reasonable cause. Oh well. Download the 1.17GB demo if you want and take out some anger by killing a few dinosaurs ... but only the ones that can be justified. Otherwise, it just wouldn't be right.

You're an idiot...

I don't think he is an idiot. I have Japanese and European silver accounts for just this purpose.

or OXM just greased the palms for some exclusive time

Yeah, as if anyone cares, this is exactly what happened. OXM gets these timed "exclusive" demos that last a month's span.

The time must be up.

OXM released on the 15th with an EXCLUSIVE demo of Turok on their disc. So, to get the demo in the US prior, you had to go out and buy the magazine (if you aren't a subscriber).

Didn't Turok use to be a native American?

Larry not allowed to say cheevo @ Jan 29th 2008 10:28AM

He still is... as far as the story goes.

Back with the Son of Stone was just a comic book he was a Native American. I believe in the N64 title he was as well. This one however, not so much. Not sure what race he is.

Back when* that is

erivera3 @ Jan 29th 2008 10:40AM

How are the graphics? I got class now so I can't check it out for myself yet.

so dark....

evilJaze @ Jan 29th 2008 10:43AM

Not missing much, really. It's been available on the PSN since last week. Ok game but just another generic 2-person shooter IMO.

I thought the demo was poorly done. If it's the same demo as in OXM then you spend the first part wandering around a dark cave which gives no sense for how great the game looks when you finally get outside. Not to mention the claustrophobic game play you get in the cave.
