Valve’s Source Engine is now 7 years old. Debuting with Counter Strike: Source (an update to a Half-Life modification), the engine has quite a history of being adaptable to all sorts of ends, perhaps most clearly expressed by the fact that Garry’s Mod—which is essentially just a Source Engine sandbox—is still being played to this day. With this history of modding, it’s actually quite surprising that it took this long for something like Dino D-Day to be created.
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.
GeekParty writes: "From the pompous British lieutenant to the kamikaze compsognathus, Dino D-Day is wired to be silly. 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.
The biggest flaw with this game is the price.
