Bam Ent. is hard at work on their cross platform title "A Sound Of Thunder" based on Ray Bradbury's classic story (and also upcoming movie). Its all about hunting dinosaur's Jurrasic Park style. Don’t change anything in the past, don’t leave anything behind and don’t bring anything back. Unfortunately someone screwed up… Today we have a ton of screens for all platforms .. Njoy!

PlayStation 2

The year is 2038 and time-travel has been invented, but people quickly find out that not all inventions are a good idea. A mysterious group known as the ‘Global Entropy’ is creating havoc in Chicago. Their plan is simple, return to the prehistoric past and completely destroy the present timeline. It seems to be working…Chicago is now a menagerie of horrifying hybrid creatures mutated dinosaurs, and vicious plant life.

As the worlds only hope, you must fight your way across the city to the time portal, go back in time and neutralize the cultists’ plan to deflect the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Your job is to defend the past to save the future…and time is NOT on your side.

In the near future time-travel has been invented. Travel companies are quick to offer once in a lifetime vacations to the rich few. Time-Safari Inc. offer the opportunity to go back to the Jurassic period and go hunting for dinosaurs that make T-Rex look like a cute little puppy. There are three rules that you must obey if you want to participate. Don’t change anything in the past, don’t leave anything behind and don’t bring anything back. Unfortunately someone screwed up…

A sequence of time ripples begins to mutate a major U.S. city and a new evolutionary timeline is born…bringing along with it a whole menagerie of mutated and horrifying creatures that could have been. You play Travis Ryer, the man who must solve the mystery and sort out the mess that might just mean the end of human existence. Time is definitely not on your side.
