Jurassic Fight Club: Turf Wars allows players to take control of prehistoric creatures and assault their opponent with a wide variety of special moves and techniques, including ferocious lunges, vicious bites and punishing tail whips. The July15th pre-premiere debuts two dinosaurs. As the season progresses, the cast of characters will grow larger and larger. Following the television broadcast-premiere on July 29, new beasts are unlocked each week allowing players to recreate epic showdowns featured on air. The detailed 3D models and lush backgrounds, pulled straight from the Jurassic Fight Club program, will bring these prehistoric brawlers back to life for an epic gaming experience.
The game was developed by This is Pop, the company that developed the highly successful, award winning Bible Fight Club game for Adult Swim. The Jurassic Fight Club series producers’ 1080, the production company known for providing creative and practical post-production solutions, created dinosaur animation assets for the game.

In recent years, archaeologists have gained new insight into a predatory world inhabited by cunning, quick-thinking, highly maneuverable dinosaurs. The game explores such ultimate fighters such as T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Utahraptor, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Majungatholus. Along with each new character, the game will present unique cheats as the season progresses.

JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB
Premiering Tuesday, July 29 at 9pm ET/PT on History
Groundbreaking Forensic Evidence Leads to Breakthrough Discoveries in Understanding How Dinosaurs Battled for Supremacy
New York, June 23, 2008 - A dinosaur’s life was not easy. Volatile pre-historic terrain, harsh climate conditions, insufficient food and water, as well as unrelenting enemy predators made survival anything but a given. With cutting edge forensics leading to new discoveries every day, researchers are gaining remarkable insight into the psychology and physiology of these ancient beasts. The new series JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB, premiering on History™, Tuesday, July 29 at 9pm ET/PT, brings the history of dinosaurs and their epic encounters to life like never before seen with astonishing CGI, illustrating the characteristics that made some the hunters and others the game.
The latest tested evidence suggests that our planet’s first fighters were more than just brutes. CAT scans of fossils allow us to peer inside the bodies and minds of dinosaurs giving clues to their behavior, thought process, ability to strategize and work in groups, as well as their vision. It is even believed that Raptors possessed night vision.
How dinosaurs lived and how they fought has never been clearer. Leading scientists and experts, offer play-by-play commentary to battles that occurred 70 million years ago and CGI imagery depicts the ancient beasts sizing up their opponents and flexing their prehistoric muscles. Jurassic Fight Club illustrates in fantastic detail the crucial evidence found and the scientific research conducted, illuminating the possible motivations for engaging in combat.
Each episode showcases thrilling dinosaur confrontations, all of which are based on recent paleontological findings. There is a potential mating situation between two Majungatholous that went awry; a gang of Raptors that stalked and killed a large herbivore; a pair of Ceratosaurus who ambushed a Allosaurus but soon discovered they were on the defense; a Nanotyrannus, a mini-version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, invaded a nesting area where two juveniles had been left on their own while their parents were on the trail for fresh meat; and more.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB Executive Producer for History is Dolores Gavin, and is produced for History by 1080 Inc. Productions.

"Alright, so I was asked to review a website and I was thinking that it would be just like any other review. “It’s cute,” “It’s horrible,” etc. but I actually like the site. Great job Donovan. If you’d like to checkout the wonderful site, click here. Overall here are my ideas:
Props
- I especially fell in love with the “Poisoner” list that in my guessing is a list of spam accounts that random advertisers have used. If so it’s a really cool idea.
- I like the overall design of the site, although some may find the gray texts to be hard on the eyes.
Suggestions
- I was a little disappointed that there’s a gallery with nothing in it. A suggestion would be to take away the button until you at least have five pictures in there, or to take a few pictures and put in there for now so you can least say that you have a gallery.
- Take away the links on the sidebar that don’t work."
Since Spark's are free to do I choose to Review everyone's site that review's mine so to give back I'm going to review www.mackaltman.com.
First going to www.mackaltman.com for some reason I thought it would be a blog about Fishing, but turns out to be much better a Blog about a Man talking about his day to day happenings ect. I spent about an hour reading his post and had a really fun time reading all that happens to him, and seems to be what happens to everyone.The Theme/Design is really Clean. His Post are enjoyable to read. Keep them post flowing and Kudo's to you MACK!]]>

Browsed around SocialSparks some more looking at other blogs and came upon Fear Asylum. They have some interesting site graphics, sure to strike fear into the hearts of many readers!
I do like the header banner a lot but am not sure on the gray on black theme. I know it is designed to get the right “atmosphere” for the page but reading gray on black tires my poor eyes out, a higher contrasting white text on the black would work better for readability but i’m not sure how that would compromise the vision for the site.
I also like the Wrestling ads as I think they fit the look and theme of the site very well. Having related topical advertising that fits into your theme is a really nice touch so that they don’t just scream “advertisement”!
The one thing Fear Asylum could do to really cement the theme is to have Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast” as their theme song :-D.
I really love the way he reviewed my site he didn't sugar coat it or anything just a raw review, now since Spark's are free to do I choose to Review everyone's site that review's mine so to give back I'm going to review www.greatpcs.net
I love the layout (theme) when I first went there it was easy on the eyes and loaded in a reasonable time, and the amount of content could last me a lifetime. His site has great review's on sites and some post are funny which make's the site more enjoyable and comfortable to be a subscriber. Only thing I didn't care for is that it dosn't stand out from other blogs/sites.all in all The Fate of Tyrlon and other Dubious Things AKA www.greatpcs.net is a very fun blog and very well designed. Keep them Post rolling!!
