    Game developers have been trying to do something with the Jurassic Park license for decades, and no one has gotten it right. It seems pretty simple what gamers want from this franchise.  They want to hunt dinosaurs.  And they want to control a dinosaur that eats people.  Primal Carnage isn’t officially a Jurassic Park game,...

    The Nintendo Wii U is still pretty new to the market, and there are a lot of people talking up some of the features while some are getting thrashed. Sure, we could sit around and make jokes about processing power, and how Hoverboards don’t work on water unless you’ve got power, but honestly, that doesn’t...

    So, with Planetside 2 having just come out, what is it about this game that makes it seem so “meh”. I’m fairly impressed with the game’s ability to make you feel like you’re actually taking part in a big war. I’m sure there’s been quite a bit of testing done to get the scale of...
