Turok for the PS3 hits Datablitz shelves
Local stores may have a shortage of PlayStation 3 titles, but the arrival of Turok this week hopes to address that. According to Hackenslash, the FPS is available starting February 7th, Thursday.

After a lot of waiting, I’ve finally gotten a taste of Rapture. Other than the fact that Bioshock is currently a hot game (despite the crazy buzz generated by Halo 3), I’m going to make the most out of my adventures in the underwater city because of all the trouble it put me through.
Sorry for the retailer ad—the game does come with a plastic bag after purchase. No, DataBlitz didn’t pay me. I wish they did, though.
