I went to download it about an hour ago before I left for work, and it wasn't anywhere to be found.

I just called my g/f and asked her to d/l it...she said it wasn't there.
According to Major Nelson, it's available in the UK, but not yet the US...should be soon.

i find it funny that this game is no longer about an indian guy and rather some white guy who's last name is Turok.

Why would they change that?

I don't know. The characters ethnicity isn't mentioned but he looks like he could be white, indian, hispanic, mixed. Plus, he has a mohawk.

-Graphics are nice, better than most UE3 games i would say.
-Ai seems pretty standard, does nothing special but isnt exactly bad either. Had one experience of a dino trying to cross a bridged section in the caves and it would run off the edge each time and try again, quite amusing!
-Gameplay vs dinosaurs can be fast and fun, diving around and backing away desperately trying to avoid getting knocked down and chewed up. But if you are, things can get annoying, getting constantly knocked down one after another can get irritating. Human fights are less interesting but its good enough and a change of pace from the more frantic dino fights.
-Framerate drops occasionally but nothing too damaging to gameplay.
Overall i liked the demo, fun and good looking, i may pick this up.

Does anyone even know who Turok is? It was a comic from Valiant in the 1990's. I can't believe they still are developing on the franchise.
