Dinosaur Battlegrounds

"That's not actually from Dinosaur Battlegrounds, I just thought it looked cool."

There is a game in development known as Dinosaur Battlegrounds. This game aims to have scientifically accurate dinosaurs (they even have scientists helping them with accuracy). That means we'll have feathered dinosaurs, which is always welcome by me.

I haven't really gotten to the coolest part of this dinosaur game yet, have I? Well, unlike most dinosaur games, you can play as dinosaurs. There is no playing as humans at all. You will try to survive as these dinosaurs. As you can imagine, multiplayer is a big part of the game.

My Top 3 Favorite Video Games as of 6/23/15

Zoo Tycoon 2 would be my third favorite game. I enjoy trying to make a five star zoo in Challenge mode, which is actually fairly difficult to do. Of course, my favorite part is the idea of owning a zoo with such a variety of animals in it... With all the Extinct Animals expansion pack, you can even have prehistoric animals in your zoo! There's also mods that add even more animals! I've always been interested in animals ever since I was just a little kid and this game was perfect for me.

Impossible Creatures would be my second favorite game. Create an army of hybrid animals with each animal having unique abilities and weaknesses. With your hybrid army, you battle against enemy armies. There is also a campaign mode and a multiplayer mode (the official servers are down for good since the game is old, but there are still some Hamachi servers for IC around).

Spore is the game that truly lets your imagination go wild. Despite the beta being better than the official version, Spore is still the best sandbox game I've ever seen. There has yet to be any game that gives you this much freedom. This game would be perfect for people of all ages. Young kids would enjoy it, older kids would love it, and even adults would adore it.

The Truth About Spore

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Spore. It is my favorite game. You can make a lot of stuff with it. The beta was more realistic and complicated however, which we wanted from the game.

Hopefully we'll get that chemistry kit some day...

The Expendabros

The Expendabros is a little 2D game I got on Steam a while back. It basically serves as the demo for Broforce (which I have yet to get).

In Expendabros, you get to control a variety of players and fight through various levels against terrorists. You do this for 'Murica. It's a simple, yet very fun comical game. If you want just a little time waster, get The Expendabros (which I believe is free, but don't quote me on that; it was a while ago when I got it).

If I get Broforce, I will make sure to talk about that as well.

Minecraft is simply a terrible game

I used to play Minecraft fairly often and I have come to the conclusion that it sucks. Terraria has a better progression system and is simply more fun of a game than Minecraft.

People will then argue that it is amazing because of what you can build in it, not because of the combat and survival in it. I will admit that Minecraft is better for building than Terraria. However, that still isn't a very valid argument because you can build with even more freedom in Spore.

ARK: Survival Evolved

http://decryptedgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ARK_LOGO_LAYERED.psd.png
  I recently got ARK: Survival Evolved and well... The team really needs to work on optimizing the game.

I didn't get very far into gameplay, but it did seem pretty cool. However, I could barely run it on LOW GRAPHICS. The game has horrible graphics when on low too. So what's with all the lag? I don't have a bad computer. Many others have also said the game needs more optimization.

Until the game is properly optimized, I'm simply not going to play it. Unless you have a super computer like an Alienware, do NOT get the game in its current stage.
