Dinosaurs! How can you forget a dinosaur? It’s the ultimate beast. Back in the playground, when you were arguing about what would kill what in a fight, someone always pulled out a dinosaur. “Yeah? My tiger would rip your lion to pieces!” “Well my T. rex would batter your tiger!” “Fight, fight, fight!”
We’re fascinated by dinos (probably because we never had the chance to kill them off, sad-face emoji) and we’re obsessed with bringing them back to life. Games are the perfect place to do it, not the real world – I’ve seen the documentary Jurassic Park so I’m well aware of the dangers! So let’s celebrate the best dinosaurs in games. Here are our favourites, which are yours?
were there dinosaurs in Thief?! I still can’t believe it, 21 years later. Why did a game about a thief in medieval times have dinosaurs? One minute, you were distracting armoured guards so you could sneak up and cosh them, and the next minute you were in Jurassic Park. It was madness!
