TUROK'S DINOSAURS RUN RAMPANT

WITH MORE THAN 1 MILLION UNITS SHIPPED WORLDWIDE


Touchstone Also Announces Velociraptor Pack -- Five New Multiplayer
Downloadable Maps to be Available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and
PLAYSTATION Network Tomorrow

Release Date of Windows-Based PC Version Revealed

BURBANK, Calif. - (March 26, 2008) - The ravenous dinosaurs of Turok
have made their mark all over the globe as Touchstone announced today
the intense first person shooter has shipped more than 1 million units
worldwide. The company also announced that the dinosaur-infested
multiplayer mode of Turok will soon expand with the release of the
Velociraptor Pack, five new downloadable maps. The new Turok
downloadable maps will be available on Xbox LIVE(r) Marketplace for the
Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 400
Microsoft Points and on PLAYSTATION(r)Network for PLAYSTATION(r)3
computer entertainment system for $4.99 starting on Thursday, March 27,
2008.

"Turok has captured the imagination of video game players throughout the
world," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing,
Touchstone. "We're now able to expand the multiplayer experience with
the release of new maps. These five new maps are sure to satisfy Turok
players who are hungry for more multiplayer challenges."

Turok players of all skill levels can play the existing 10 maps with the
development team from Propaganda Games. A Turok "Game With Dev" is
scheduled for today Wednesday, March 26 from 3-6 p.m. PST on Xbox
LIVE(r) online entertainment network.

Touchstone also announced an April 22, 2008 release date for the
Windows-based PC version of Turok, the sci-fi first person shooter.
Developed by Propaganda Games, the Windows-based PC version has been
optimized for PC by Aspyr Studios. The game will give PC fans the
opportunity to experience the engaging, story-driven single player
experience and multiplayer modes for up to 16 players. The PC version,
which will enable both the mouse and keyboard or a game controller, will
be available for $49.99. The new downloadable content for the console
versions will be available for Windows-based PC soon after that
version's release.

Of the five new Turok downloadable maps for consoles, two are completely
new multiplayer maps, one is a new co-op map and two are relit versions
of popular multiplayer maps available with the game. Below is a brief
description of the five new maps:

* Co-Op - A brand new Turok co-op map for 2-4 players. In this
co-op map your Whiskey Company squad has been captured and is being held
in a Mendel-Gruman facility designed for holding dinosaurs. You and
your team have to break out and make it to the rescue chopper before the
Wolf Pack troops decide to feed you to the captured raptors.

* Desolation - A brand new swamp-based map where simple structures
are set up alongside a rock cliff to allow helicopters and transports
into the area to bring in supplies. There are many hiding spots on this
multi-level map which enables numerous quiet kill opportunities.

* Sentinel - Another new multiplayer map and one of the largest
Turok maps to date. The setting takes place at the top of a mountain
around one of Kane's orbital defense arrays - the very base that shot
down the Whiskey Company ship from orbit in the single-player campaign.
Also, the presence of a few large dinosaurs on the map can make things
very interesting during multiplayer combat.

* Inconclusive Tests - This time the Testing Grounds map takes
place at night and offers a different view of the world that now
contains more dark hiding spots. A word of caution -- watch out for the
raptors.

* A Rivalry Continues - As the name suggests, the struggle for the
compound from A Heated Rivalry is not over and has extended into the
eerie darkness of the night.


Turok, the epic, sci-fi first person shooter, provides an opportunity to
interact with dinosaurs like never before. Published by Touchstone and
developed by Propaganda Games, Turok is a unique and gritty first person
shooter that immerses players into a world of dinosaurs. Turok has a
robust online multiplayer feature with a variety of modes and maps for
up to 16 players. Competitive multiplayer modes include Capture the
Flag, Assault-style Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and
War Games, a special objective-based game mode. Turok's co-op feature
allows up to four players to team up online in maps inspired by the
single-player story but designed specifically for the co-op mode.
Unique to Turok, and like the game's single-player campaign, the
multiplayer modes include dinosaurs and large insects, which may attack
any player and can be lured to attack opponents.

Developed by Propaganda Games, Touchstone's development studio in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Turok is rated M for Mature by the
Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). The console version is
available in stores now for the Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION(r)3 computer entertainment system
for $59.99.

A separate Turok mobile game developed by Living Mobile Studios is now
available across carrier or by texting the word TUROK to the number
55655 to download directly to a mobile phone. As Turok, the player must
use a mixture of cunning stealth and brutal force to defeat enemies and
hordes of fierce dinosaurs in a classic side-scrolling action game. The
game includes the ability to hide in the shadows to sneak up on enemies
for Quiet Kills or to blast away with a full arsenal, including a bow
and knife.

Yes. I'm still working on the storymode. As for online it depends on the connection. There were numerous times I couldn't pick a weapon up due to lag. As for the new maps.The one with Raptors might be fun.
