Dinolords – Trailer

Let’s continue with the dinosaur theme, and watch the trailer for Dinolords! It’s a game that is in flux regarding release date, but hopefully it will be let free to roam with the other dino games this year. It should be noted that the release will be Early Access. However, from what I have seen, it sure looks promising already, so that removes some angst with it being an EA title. I mean, medieval RTS warfare in England, with dinosaurs included? It’s so campy that it works, especially if the devs treat the story with sincerity, and do not go full Marvel writing. The whole thing reminds me of the old RTS game Paraworld. A game that showed great promise, but lacked in execution. Hopefully, Dinolords will dazzle us with shiny T-rex teeth (and gameplay). Trailer after the jump!

Now, after spending about 30 hours in the deadly cyberpunk world of Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, I’m ready to write some impressions. I would rather do a full-blooded review, per usual, but the game is not complete, even after being released as 1.0. Call me autistic, but I think this should mean something, especially in this world of gaming when dubious Early Access releases are very common. I’m not calling Cyber Knights: Flashpoint “dubious”, far from it. Yet, it doesn’t change the fact that it was released unfinished, as I will show in screenshots after the jump. Other than that, it’s a good title for anyone who enjoys X-com-like games.
