10 Beloved First-Person Shooter Video Games That Need Rebooting

10. Turok

Turok once brought dino-mania to the Nintendo 64, but the property was little more than a fossilised relic until it was remastered in 2015.

Based on the adventures of the eponymous comic book character, the original Turok told the story of a Native American time-travelling warrior charged with protecting a barrier between Earth and a world inhabited by dinosaurs and other deadly creatures.

'Guns and dinos' was a winning formula throughout the N64 era, but the Turok brand was tarnished by inferior sequels and a botched reboot attempt in the years that followed.

If the success of Jurassic World and the hype surrounding its upcoming sequel proves anything, it’s that dinosaurs are officially cool again - and somebody is missing a trick if Turok isn’t revived (with greater care than in 2008) to capitalise on this trend.

Here’s hoping the Turok 2: Seeds of Evil remastering that’s about to hit PC is a means of testing the water ahead of the modern rebirth this property deserves.
