Dinosaur theme park, in terms of ideas, it doesn’t get much cooler than that. “I’m not worried. It’s just a zoo, Henry.” Well, for anyone that ever saw a Jurassic Park film, we know exactly how that all turned out. Even knowing that, we all still would want to give it a try. Frontier Developments, makers of the well-regarded management sim Planet Coaster, are giving players the chance to build their own dinosaur theme park in Jurassic World Evolution (Hubris not included). Management sim fans, dinosaur fans this is your chance to build your very own Jurassic Park.
The Middle Ages has long served as inspiration for RPGs. More often than not that inspiration has been limited to a Fantasy realm. The influence is there in Fantasy, of course, however, there are but a few that have a real historical context.

We’re all used to playing the powerful hero in RPGs but how about the not so powerful son of a blacksmith?
The summer is starting to wind down already. The party doesn’t have to stop once the fall gets here though. Join up with some friends and stab each other in a race to see who can get eaten by a giant serpent first. That’s probably not what you expected me to say, but that’s the goal in Nidhogg 2, the latest game from Messhof. If you missed the original, word on the street is that it’s kind of a lot of fun with friends. Let’s see if the sequel lives up to its predecessor’s reputation.
