On the bottom left, players will notice a Parasaur, a dinosaur commonly found in starting areas and on beaches of ARK maps. These herbivores make great pack mules and mounts, as they can carry a lot and still run relatively quickly. Above it there’s a human riding on a Triceratops , one of the best defensive mounts that players can get early on in the first game. Finally, in the top right there is what appears to be a drawing of a Stegosaur, a dinosaur that in the previous game provided great utility for harvesting a variety of different types of resour

Tokyo Game Show 2019 is starting right now at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, going from September 12 to 15. Most publishers revealed their definitive schedules these past few days, outlining the various streams and stage events happen

Of course, I did not have the time nor the patience to get through every single game that came out this year. That means some notable releases like Resident Evil 2, Gears 5 , and DualShockers ‘ Game of the Year Judgment did not make my list. Some great games were also just barely beat out, but I’d still recommend Ape Out, Baba is You, Samurai Shodown and Mortal Kombat 11 if you are looking for a good time. Without further ado, here are my 10 favorite games of 2

Going into E3, one game that seemed like a guarantee for Sony’s press conference was The Last of Us: Part 2 . The game generated significant buzz when it was revealed at the PlayStation Experience last year, but Sony decided not to show it at E3. According to Naughty Dog, the reason for this was to give Uncharted: The Lost Legacy some time in the spotlight , but another motive could be Sony wanting to put more energy into its PlayStation Experience event than

The ARK 2 reveal trailer is a visual marvel , and there’s a lot going on at any given point. It’s very possible that there were some dinosaurs shown that were missed here, and there are some that couldn’t be identified with what was shown. Those players that fancy themselves dinosaur experts should also take the time to comb through the trailer and see if there are any other dinosaurs that were confirmed for the game at its rev

The most iconic dinosaur of all , it should come as no surprise that the T-Rex is making its return and had a big spotlight in the trailer. Called just “Rex” in the first game, the T-Rex in the trailer looks to be slightly larger and equally as clumsy. It also features some stylish furs on its neck and along its spine, perhaps in an effort to create a more realistic representation of the beast. That said, scientists still don’t know exactly what the king of dinosaurs would have looked like, so this is still just a best gu

Tetris was already great on its own– just look at last year’s Tetris Effect –and splicing battle royale mechanics in there only embellished the whole multiplayer experience. As the game has received some single-player and local multiplayer modes since launch, Arika and Nintendo’s game has cemented itself as one of the best Tetris titles of all time. It’s becoming a mobile game too . That’s always a good sign, ri

In the last scene of the trailer, two other dinosaurs can be spotted. Vin Diesel delivers his “Lights Out” line and then it cuts to him and the child walking in the open again, this time alone. Right in front of them there are three winged dinosaurs that then take flight. This implies that they are non-hostile, and though they look similar to the first game’s Pterosaurs, there’s a distinctive butterfly like pattern on their wings that sets them apart. These could just be a unique design added to the dino or it could be an entirely new one altogether. Only time will t

While it would be great to see Albion rendered in 4k, a change of scenery from the European-inspired biomes of so many traditional fantasy RPGs would be welcome. The Coral Forest from the recent Monster Hunter: World is a terrific example of a totally new type of game environment that still feels real and plausible within the confines of the world. Given Fables storybook aesthetic, something similarly creative would be awesome to

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate also made my top 10 list last year . In that article, I said it could make the list this year if the game added Geno. While they weren’t added to the game, we still got exciting characters like Joker, Hero, Terry Bogard, and most surprisingly Ba

One way Nintendo has been bolstering the Nintendo Switch’s library of games is by slowly porting popular Wii U titles to the system and throwing the word “deluxe” at the end. While some Nintendo faithful may be annoyed by this approach, it’s worth noting that roughly 12 million people bought a Wii U, meaning that the vast majority of gamers missed out on the Wii U’s biggest Adventure games Missions, including titles like Super Smash Bros. for Wii

One of the most shocking moments of E3 2017 was when Nintendo announced not one, but two Metroid games. Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS was quit the surprise, but the even bigger bombshell was the announcement that Metroid Prime 4 is in development for the Nintendo Switch. Despite only showing the game’s logo, Metroid Prime 4 ended up as one of the most-talked about games of
