Turok is a first-person shooter video game developed by Propaganda Games, and published by Disney Interactive Studios under Touchstone Games. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2008, and later ported to Microsoft Windows in April.
Turok is loosely based on the comic book series of the same title and is a reboot of previous Turok video games. Players assume the role of Kiowa space marine Joseph Turok, who is part of a team sent to a remote planet to apprehend General Roland Kane, Turok's former commanding officer, who is now a wanted war criminal. After crash landing, Turok discovers that the planet is home to all manner of dinosaurs, and must fight both the predatory creatures and Kane's private army on his mission to take down his former mentor.
The game received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success. A planned sequel was cancelled following the closure of Propaganda Games.
