Bungie's Halo 3 took top Game of the Year honors during the G-Phoria awards last night, broadcast by game-oriented cable television network G4.
Native American actor Adam Beach will play Turok in the upcoming feature film.
Mostly known for his roles on TV's Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and the movie Windtalkers, Beach is one of few prominent Native American Hollywood stars. His credentials for playing Turok go farther than that, though - he was the voice of Turok in this year's animated film, Turok: Son of Stone.

Despite no XBOX Live Arcade release today, the XBOX Live Marketplace has still been updated. Here's the full list for Wednesday 30th April 2008:
Next-Gen.Biz writes: "The Propaganda Games-developed sci-fi dino blaster Turok has shipped over 1 million units worldwide, according to publisher Touchstone.
New multiplayer maps will be coming soon for Turok. Originally announced for release on the Xbox Live Marketplace yesterday, it looks like the maps are currently undergoing certification but should be available very soon. Desolation, Sentinel, Inconclusive Tests and A Rivalry Continues are the new multiplayer maps. There's also a new co-op map. The map pack will go for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). Watch for it on the PlayStation Network as well, scheduled for release tomorrow on March 27, 2008, also for $5.
Xbox accounts for 61 per cent of units sold in UK.
Uk website shopto.com has posted a message on their website notifying customers that games due for release on February 8th have arrived early they are now shipping Turok, Conflict: Denied Ops & Devil May Cry 4* for next day delivery.
Turok takes top spot of the Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Not surprisingly, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is at the top of the Nintendo Wii list, while PlayStation 3 gamers have Devil May Cry 4 queued up at the top.

Kotaku has received quite a few emails this weekend from people saying they had picked up copies of Turok at their local stores. While it's not out of the ordinary for a game's street date to be broken by a single outlet, according to Best Buy, GameStop, GameCrazy and Wal-mart the game came out three days ago on Jan. 31. Apparently no one told this to the game's publisher, Touchstone. The official Turok website has a countdown clock that still has a little over two days left on it. The press materials and game websites like IGN and Gamespot also have it listed as a February 5th release. Is this a matter of a mass mistake on the retailers' part or is Touchstone being sneaky and letting the cat out of the bag early on purpose?
This week's North American releases span the PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP.
US Xbox 360 owners can now download the single player demo to Propoganda Games's upcoming first person shooter Turok. The demo for the game was a pre-order exclusive toward purchasing the game in the US and was also offered on a recent Official Xbox Magazine demo disk but until now has not been available as a free download for the US.
Kotakuite matthewpaul93 sends in this pic of the toothy pre-order gift he got from his local Game Crazy for pre-ordering Turok. If I had to choose I would probably take the $10 gift card for pre-ordering the game from Circuit City but the large silver fang does have its charms. So, if you have a penchant for metallic orthodontia or need to fill in that gap in your smile, head over to Game Crazy and pre-order your copy of Turok now!
The controversial feature in the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game Turok that rewards players for killing their teammates will be removed with a patch, says publisher Touchstone.
And that date is February 7, going by the Funtastic schedule that just arrived in my inbox. To the left you'll find the Xbox 360 pack shot, though rest assured it's coming out on PS3 and PC as well.
Turok is one of only a few demos out this week. It's available on Live Marketplace (and PSN if you're in the US). Or how about the FIFA Street 3 sampler, out for both PS3 and 360. Quite eye-catching with its new stylised cartoon image, although some of you forum goers seem less than taken with the repetitive tricks.
PS3 Attitude reveal that whilst the Xbox 360 demo arrived this week (Tuesday), PS3 owners will need to wait until 7th February to 'get their dino on' in the forthcoming FPS from Disney Interactive.
