Everything is Better with Dinosaurs

Sometimes I go out into the wilderness of the internet specifically looking for something. Hunting, if you will. Sometimes I head out there just to see what I can see; this is the 'just a walk in the park' mentality. In either case, one thing will always stop me. Dinosaurs.


Lately, all the hype associated with dinosaurs has been surrounding the new sci-fi television gambit Terra Nova. However, I don't watch that much television. But I do play los videojuegos. And video games with dinosaurs will stop me in my internet-surfing tracks.

It all started with this article about the blu-ray trilogy release of Jurassic Park and the girl who played Lex in the amazing film (and it's craptastic sequel). She and Timmy were the best parts of the movie, besides the dinosaurs, that is. Anyway, allow me to map out this discovery in a series of links:

Trailer for Telltale's new Jurassic Park Game
Spinosaurus Boss Fight from Jurassic: The Hunted
New Spino vs. T-Rex Video - What is this?
It's called Primal Carnage. It has dinosaurs.
    Hrm. Looks pretty, but what is Primal Carnage?
Holy Crap! You can play as a Tyrannosaur and eat people!
Awesome. Raptors. Team Dinosaur vs. Team Human.
    Who would play as a human? We're so lame.
Going to the real website now...
Play as a raptor, in the jungle.
    I want to attack, not from the front, but from the sides.
What is Primal Carnage really about?


Or, perhaps: "Shut up and sign me up for the beta!"

Wow, that's all I have to say. Just wow. I've loved dinosaurs since I was a kid. Little Foot and the Land Before Time. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Turok. Trespasser. Dino Crisis. This is all in-addition-to Michael Crichton's amazing books and the movies spawned from them.

Bring on the Primal Carnage! I can't wait to play as the raptor.
