Steve Haske writes, "How often do we see dinosaurs in video games? Considering their terrible power and sheer evolutionary greatness (not to mention the cool factor that anything dinosaur-related stirs in our inner nine-year-old), not very often. Dino Crisis has been all but abandonded by Capcom. Turok was arguably never any good. Telltale's Jurassic Park will only last five episodes. But dinosaurs, perhaps, are making a comeback. Ubisoft's Combat of Giants, an edutainmental dinosaur adventure game, is coming for the 3DS. And Dino D-Day, an idea that is perhaps one of the greatest genre mergings in the history of video games, was just announced for Steam. Never in a million years would I have suspected that anyone would be bold and ingenious enough to come up with something absurdly amazing as a WWII game with dinosaurs, let alone actually make it. But now someone has."
OX: Lego Jurassic World is the latest hot property to get the Lego treatment, and though it coincides with the launch of the Jurassic World film, it actually adapts all four Jurassic Something movies for your co-op action-adventuring pleasure. Show of the Week inspects the goods and ponders cheaper alternatives to bespoke designer dinos.

The premise is essentially “But what if the Nazis had dinosaurs,” and what ensues is something that’s a boatload of fun. Add some friends and some beer, and you have three well-spent hours gone from my life forever."
PC Gamer: "Dinosaurs exist and the Nazis have them!" is the tag line for Dino D-Day, a multiplayer shooter set in World War 2 that lets you play as a T-Rex with shoulder-mounted machine guns, or a Velociraptor, or a squidgy human with a gun, among other things. We're teaming up with Bundle Stars to give away a million Steam keys for free, because everyone deserves to become a T-Rex and enjoy a rampage every once in a while. Read on to redeem your key and start playing.
