Jurassic Fight Club (titled Dinosaur Secrets in Australia/the UK) is a paleontology-based television series on History channel which premiered in the US in July 2008. Jurassic Fight Club was hosted by George Blasing,[1] a self-taught paleontologist, and also features well-known paleontologists such as Thomas R. Holtz Jr., Lawrence Witmer, Phillip J. Currie, and others. The show ran for one season of 12 episodes and was not renewed.
Summary[edit]
Scientists study the battles of prehistoric creatures, such as dinosaurs, before they became extinct. Each episode features a forensic-styled breakdown of a prehistoric battle. Based on fossil evidence and paleontologic analysis, a computer-generated imagery rendering of the battle, based on the evidence and the imagination of George Blasing (the show's host) is the final act of each episode. In most cases, the battles are based on actual fossil finds, although in several episodes, scientists simply put two contemporaneous prehistoric animals against each other.

Break bonesJurassic Fight Club Turf Wars Game Cheats Code
Get your opponent's life in the red zone. Then, press Down + X + Square or Up + Square + Triangle. This is useful when your goal is to break that person's arm.
Break legIn order to break your opponent's leg, he must be one hit away from defeat; then, press Right + Triangle + Circle.
Kick headAfter you defeat an opponent, hold L1 + R1 and press Square, Triangle, Square, Triangle to kick them in the head while they are down. Note: This will not work if the opponent taps out.
Easy winsAs soon as your opponent gets back on his feet, execute a punch combo. You only have a small amount of time to hit him when he is not blocking you. Kicks do not work as well, as they usually duck faster and can sweep you on the ground. A good combo would be Square, Triangle, Square, Triangle.
Faster CDP gainSurvival mode allows you to gain 1,000 CDP points on your first victory, and it increases by 250 points with each win. However, the more fights you win, the tougher your enemy becomes.
Opponent fighting stylesA martial artist is a fast punch and kicker. Brawlers do heavy damage with grapples, but are very slow at punching/kicking. The other types are a mix of these two and have respective differences, such as heavy punch/kicks but slow punch/kicks, etc.
