Turok adds some big name voice talent

Back a decade or so ago, the voice work in Turok for the Nintendo 64 brought no small amount of joy to our then tiny hearts. Sure, it was basically just variations on "I am Turok!" but if there's a better thing to shout after you dunk your brother's Thundercats in the toilet, we haven't heard about it.It seems that for its big-budget modern remake, Turok is stepping up the acting with names like Timothy Olyphant (making his second game-related appearance), Ron Perlman and Donnie Wahlberg. Joseph Turok will be voiced by Gregory Norman Cruz, who you would recognize as "Bobby Stillwater" from Saving Grace if you were the sort to watch Saving Grace, which we trust you are not. Also, the main villain of the game will, in accordance with federal law, be played by Powers Boothe. Is it just us, or did Feb. 5, 2008 just get a little further away?

"Timothy Olyphant, Ron Perlman and Donnie Wahlberg"
So "big" is a relative term?

Remember that troll looking guy from Turok 2 who was all like, "Goodie Goodie For Me!"
They need to hire THAT fucking guy back. Talk about voice acting!

All I remember from the 64 Turok games were how the bosses seemed to be immune to all of the death-ray cannons, but were taken down by a simple bow and arrow...

So, once again, Timothy Olyphant will be facing off against Powers Boothe? Tempting, but I'm guessing not as cool as Deadwood.

If this game has the Cerebral Bore in it, I will get it for that reason alone. (Okay, maybe not, but the Cerebral Bore was the proverbial balls.)

I used to play Turok on the 64, although I barely remember it. I just remember playing as some Indian fighting Dinosaurs in the first one, and the second one started out with a bunch of dead human soldiers lying around.

Native American, please!
Seriously though, I remember the first one being a pretty solid FPS, and one of the first I'd ever enjoyed on a console.
