Not only that, it already has a release date of November 14 and is coming to PC and consoles. Originally released in 2000,Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivionwas an interesting turn for Acclaim’sTurokseries. It really shows the awkward evolution of the first-person shooter genre in the wake of 1998’sHalf-Life. While the first two games were largely just fast-paced key-hunting games like early FPS,Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivionincorporated more story elements and cutscenes....

In a move that is basically out of the ordinary for the modern games industry, Disney and Petroglyph have released a surprise patch today for the 2006 RTS game,Star Wars: Empire at War(and its expansion pack)....
