Unfortunately, not everything is perfect in dino land.
ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED LET’S U TAME AND RIDE DINOSAURS
“You wake up literally on a scrap heap, with a buzzard type drone trying to pull the good bits off you.”
“At the current price this game is retailing at, I would give Rugby 18 a pass and grab Tru Blu’s Rugby Challenge 3 at a reduced price instead” – Rugby 18
You wake up cold, confused and mostly naked on a beach.
That’s right, Ark: Survival Evolved lets you tame and ride dinosaurs.
“Horizon Zero Dawn deserves its place among the pantheon of great PlayStation games.”
“That’s right, Ark: Survival Evolved lets you tame and ride dinosaurs.”
“The Surge is really Dark Souls in an exoskeleton.”
Eko Software has tried to inject new life into this series but unfortunately, Rugby 18 is another disappointing attempt at a rugby game.
The sound of the tyres screeching and engines revving all sound authentic and add to the overall visual appeal. – Gran Turismo Sport
“Horizon Zero Dawn is a special game. It is visually stunning, it has a great combat system, and an interesting narrative.”
However, if you are looking to build your dinosaur empire and become the dino-whisperer you’ve always wanted to be, Ark: Survival Evolved might just be the game for you.
Unfortunately, not everything is perfect in dino land.
“All these struggles are worth it though” from Ark
Unexpectedly, nearly everything about this entry is different from the games that have come before it.
Probably the biggest standout is its limb targeting system.
Gran Turismo Sport is the start of a new era for the renowned racing series.
“You actually need to know about it in real life if you want to make a go in this virtual world! I spent a large chunk of my very hard earned profits to buy some sheep and lost half of them to frost bite. And the game wouldn’t let me sell them as pre-frozen packs… some simulator this is…”
“You wake up literally on a scrap heap, with a buzzard type drone trying to pull the good bits off you.”
“Gran Turismo Sport is the start of a new era for the renowned racing series.”
The lack of any kind of tutorial means you learn through trial and error, and there is A LOT of error, but once you start understanding the game, it’s actually a very easy process to upgrade and improve your rig.
“Unfortunately, not everything is perfect in dino land.”
“You wake up literally on a scrap heap, with a buzzard type drone trying to pull the good bits off you.”
Are you a real man or do you need Safe Spaces?”
“Heck, I even shed a tear or two during my time with the game.”
Horizon Zero Dawn deserves its place among the pantheon of great PlayStation games.” Rugby 18 cool game
‘Gran Turismo Sport is the start of a new era for the renowned racing series’
“Horizon Zero Dawn is a special game. It is visually stunning, it has a great combat system, and an interesting narrative. It manages to take all theses elements and make them work together in perfect unison.”
While Ark: Survival Evolved might be a complete and utter grind fest marred with convoluted menus and graphical bugs, I still couldn’t help myself from continually playing it.
The splendour is not only restricted to the cinematic intro but the menus and in-game graphics are surprisingly just as polished and attractive

“When I heard about Eko Software’s Rugby 18, I was really hoping that we would finally get the rugby game all the die-hard fans have been waiting for. I was wrong.” – Rugby 18
Horizon Zero Dawn deserves its place among the pantheon of great PlayStation games.
“I was also disappointed to find there was no Haka when I played as the All Blacks.” – rugby 18
Rugby 18 has licenses to most of the major international teams, including the All Blacks and Springboks, however, Ireland and Argentina are not included.
“It’s during her childhood that an accidental tumble down a hole in the ground causes her to discover something amazing (and no it is not the Batcave, although that would have been awesome).”
It’s been 4 years since the previous instalment and I was ready to dust off my racing gloves, start the engine and hit the asphalt again.
Matterfall is a feast for the eyes with enemies exploding into thousands of beautiful voxels when finding themselves on the wrong side of your blaster
From Matterfall Review:
“Your mission is to shoot, kill and destroy the robots that have been driven insane by an alien substance… “
Ark: Survival Evolved is a crafting and survival game that drops you on an island with nothing but your wits, bare fists, and a little piece of cloth to protect your modesty.
sleeping with one eye open so you can prevent your family becoming a farm murder statistic
“It’s extremely difficult to score tries during matches as the players always tend to get tackled.”- Rugby ’18
“Do you need to fight off alien teenagers making crop circles on a night out, joy riding their parental units’ space ship?
Do giant meat-eating worms swallow up a paddock of cows?
The simple answer is No.
Nothing like that.
It is just what it says it is. You are a farmer…”
“I chose America, cos dang it, I like America!” – Farming Simulator (Donny Chang)
That’s the winning line. This guy beats me up. I don’t even know what Farming Simulator is, but after that, I don’t care what people say, I want to farm!! Dang it!! He spiced up my Tuesday.
Thank you Donny.
Thank. You.
“I was wrong.” – Rubgy 18
“As you evolve from stone club wielding savage to automatic rifle wielding savage, you will slowly unlock new levels and crafting recipes.”

“Your mission is to shoot, kill and destroy the robots that have been driven insane by an alien substance… oh, and to save some civilians along the way.”
“Ark: Survival Evolved might just be the game for you.”
As the game’s title and cheery intro suggest, it’s an immensely fun golfing experience.
“And when one of your best strategies to capture a large dinosaur is to get it stuck on the environment, you know there is a problem.” This works in so many games hahaha :D
This might sound easy but, thanks to the game’s obtuse nature, I spent most of my first few hours trying to figure out how to do what and where to find the resources required just to survive my first night in this inhospitable place.
“As you evolve from stone club wielding savage to automatic rifle wielding savage, you will slowly unlock new levels and crafting recipes.” – ARK
“Being able to ‘convince’ a robot, that only a few moments ago wanted to tear your flesh from your bones, to fight alongside you is truly satisfying.” – Horizon Zero Dawn
Talking about action, this is where Horizon Zero Dawn truly shines
Visually, Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the (if not the) most gorgeous games of this generation.

Gran Turismo Sport kicks that formula to the curb.

You climb in and the worst first day on the job begins. I’m not sure if it’s a malfunction or if it’s the way everyone gets converted, but the entire conversion happens while you are awake!

“However, if you are looking to build your dinosaur empire and become the dino-whisperer you’ve always wanted to be, Ark: Survival Evolved might just be the game for you.”
“Like Lords of the Fallen, The Surge is another rock-solid souls-a-like, losing a little of its predecessor’s strong storytelling and atmosphere, but gaining from the change from fantasy to sci-fi and the ingenious mech smashing and harvesting upgrade system. It’s not quite on the same level as the Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne or Nioh, but that’s more down to the lore and art style than the brilliant gameplay. If you like the sound of a gritty dystopian take on Dark Souls, The Surge is an easy game to recommend.”
“let’s hope that a big publisher like EA Sports can grab the opportunity and release the rugby game we have all been waiting for.” Rugby 18. So many lol’s
All these struggles are worth it though as you slowly build up your base and pool of resources until you are finally able to tame your first dinosaur. That’s right, Ark: Survival Evolved lets you tame and ride dinosaurs.
It’s easy to compliment it as one of the best looking games the console has to offer.
Gran Turismo Sport is the start of a new era for the renowned racing series. It’s a bit of the old with a lot of cool new features. A few minor tweaks to the game’s engine, and the next instalment could possibly lead the series into pole position.
you are attacked (and eventually killed) by a dinosaur/killer fish/human wielding a spear or automatic rifle.

“This game is as much a debt simulator as it is a farming simulator. ” :”D
It also only offers three camera angles, which disappointingly do not include any side views. After every stoppage, there is an annoying screen that appears which is rather unnecessary.
