African Adventure was the second expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon 2. It added a variety of new animals such as Meerkats, Aardvarks, Bongos, Ethiopian Wolves, Gerenuks, Mandrills, etc. New maps are also added that are based off real places in Africa, like the Sahara Desert. It has some features Endangered Species also includes, like Jeeps. African Adventure's final major feature is that it makes the behavior of several creatures in the game more realistic.

3.                                 Endangered Species

Endangered Species was the first expansion pack released for Zoo Tycoon 2. Koalas, Fennec Foxes, Crested Gibbons, Komodo Dragons, Orangutans, Wolverines, etc. are all included in the pack as new animals. As I mentioned earlier, this expansion pack does include Jeeps which can take your guests on a tour throughout your zoo. It also includes sky trams and elevated pathways for the same purpose. Endangered Species also adds skin variants to the game, such as White Tigers.

2.                                   Marine Mania

Marine Mania was the third expansion pack created for Zoo Tycoon 2. This expansion included Orcas, Pacific Walrus, Belugas, Leatherback Sea Turtles, Goblin Sharks, Bottlenose Dolphins, etc. You can also train animals, such as Orcas and Belugas, to perform shows to entertain the guests. Of course, you'll need new aquarium tanks to keep your marine creatures and not a traditional fence.

1.                                  Extinct Animals

An Ankylosaurus, Kentrosaurus, and a Carnotaurus. Note that not one of the creatures shown above's preferred habitat in the game is actually the rainforest. Ankylosaurus and Kentrosaurus like the wetlands and the Carnotaurus likes the boreal forest.

Extinct Animals was the fourth and final expansion pack made for Zoo Tycoon 2. This expansion pack has Ankylosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Carnotaurus, American Mastodon, Deinosuchus, Smilodon, etc. My favorite dinosaur, Spinosaurus, is not included unfortunately... But besides that, the expansion pack is great. You can adopt these extinct creatures or clone them yourself! Some creatures can rampage and escape their exhibit too.

The Expendabros

http://jogazera.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/introducing-the-expendabros-broforces-free-expenda_wbaz.jpg

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.
