dna of this decade s best games and resurrecting some old favourites to put together a list of jurassic games we d love to see find a way get it to our living rooms jurassic park escape from isla nublar a jurassic game that channels the terrifying tension of outlast and amnesia would be an incredible entry to their games portfolio imagine a game with all the tension of that famous kitchen scene as you find yourself unarmed and completely terrified with only your wit guile and reflective kitchen cupboards to protect you from prehistoric predators on the hunt ingen has gone into complete lockdown and it s up to you to uncover the secrets of the park as you explore the laboratory climbing the rafters above the visitor center and hiding wherever you can to avoid those ravenous raptors jurassic park operation genesis ii 2003 s operation genesis gave fans the power to create their own version of the iconic amusement park in this tycoon style park management game the player was treated to an incredibly diverse builder interface allowing you to alter the land build your own enclosures amenities and most importantly populate your park with your favourite dino species with the current power of next gen consoles and cutting edge pcs skyrocketing it s the perfect time to return to isla nublar to build your own jurassic park that s grander than ever just imagine having the ability to design enormous attractions in glorious 1080p build an aquatic enclosure to house jurassic world s mosasaur or even breaking down the walls or even splice a new dinosaur hybrid of your own for onlookers to admire of course there is also much to be said for removing the walls to your t rex enclosure and watching her run riot naughty dog studios presents jurassic park the lost world think about the most action packed parts of jurassic park there s climbing jumping and running away from nature s most fearsome creations the legendary cinematic gameplay that the uncharted series has championed would be a perfect fit to bring this prehistoric adventure game to life picture your rugged adventurer leaping across cragged cliffs as a pack of hungry raptors are in pursuit below waiting for you to fall as you navigate the island s dangerously beautiful landscape not only would the action be top tier but naughty dog studios could bring the world of jurassic park to life using their incredible detailed and lush environments and their ability to flesh out their characters so their stories truly stay with you imagine characters like joel and ellie from the last of us making their way through the prehistoric perils of jurassic park telltale games presents jurassic world this entry is kind of a cheat as telltale did in fact release an episodic jurassic park series back before their huge success with their the walking dead series reviews observe that the controls were clunky and the story was uninspired and people were generally disappointed that the game didn t measure up to its big screen inspiration today the story of telltale games has been turned on its head the ground breaking studio houses some of the best game writers and designers in the biz consitently earning critical acclaim and an unmatched reputation for stellar storylines engaging and intertwining character arcs and their uniquely refined and meaningful player choices and plot twists jurassic world would be the perfect opportunity for telltale to resurrect their partnership with jurassic park and start over with universal s jurassic reboot lego jurassic world this one we don t have to imagine as through the power of warner bros games and tt those who grew up on a steady combination of these two mediums can finally combine them in a well constructed explosion of nostalgia the game will take players through all three original adventures as well as jurassic world itself the family friendly co operative nature of tt games light hearted romps through some of the world s biggest franchises bring a sense of fun and charm that is hard not to warm up to even in the face of 9 inch long teeth you can even create your own dinosaur made up of the game s existing dinos finally there is a way to give a t rex the proportionate arms it deserves lego games always bring a keen sense of imagination when it comes to recreating iconic scenes from classic films and we re excited to see how this will work in the unique world of jurassic park if the thought of seeing a lego dr ian malcom jeff goldblum fills you with the same feeling of awe as it does for us come experience it for yourself at mcm london comic con this weekend if you have some ideas for a jurassic park game you d love to see let us know in the comments below lego jurassic world will be released this june and is available to play this weekend at mcm london comic con may 15 2015 in games reviews leave a comment mortal kombat x review originally published for mcm buzz on the 18th of april 2015 in netherrealm s latest entry mortal kombat returns to your screen to slice dice and entice players back into its uniquely gruesome brand of brawling with every bone crunching blow it s easy to realise that this over the top arcade style fighting extravaganza is exactly what has been missing from the latest generation of consoles as the tenth instalment in the mortal kombat series there is a lot to build on and mortal kombat x does it well using the now commonplace energy bar from 2011 s mortal kombat injustice s interactive arenas and even the sprint bar from mortal kombat 4 longtime kombatants will be met with a wave of nostalgia in an updated combat system there is plenty here for existing fans but not so much that it feels inaccessible to new players if this is your first mortal kombat experience it will be hard to be disappointed and harder not to laugh maniacally when you perform your first fatality when it comes to returning characters the game offers plenty of familiar faces to choose from including classic kombatants scorpion and sub zero as well as favourites from previous instalments like kenshi not only does the game rely on past glories but there are eight new characters introduced many of these characters have ties to previous mvp s and some like cassie cage and jacqui briggs mimic their parents fighting styles with some changes just subtle enough to warrant a new character kenshi s son takeda and shaolin archer kung jin on the other hand feel unique with their incredibly diverse set of attacks including dual chain whips energy swords bow staffs and throwing knives the new additions who aren t taking their style from a previous fighter are something to be marvelled at these newcomers come with a massive range of combat styles complimented by the game s new variation options each character has three unique variations that allow fans to change up their favourite fighter or simply explore the enormous number of fighting styles at their disposal in terms of combat the controls are responsive and the range of attacks should please even the most sadistic of gamers the combos require rapid and precise execution and the fatalities even more so but in the single player mode learning the ropes doesn t feel punishing returning to the series are the graphic but often delightfully violent x ray special moves area attacks and evasions and the block breaker option can turn the tide in your favour making for a fast paced brutal but ultimately rewarding experience the fatalities are as gruesome as ever and are sure to bring about the usual feelings of shock disgust and complete awe in true mortal kombat fashion the story mode takes a leaf out of fellow warner bros game injustice creating a grand interlocking narrative featuring all of the playable characters it does an excellent job of weaving together old characters and feuds and giving new fighters a place in their world cassie jacqui takeda and kung jin are placed as an elite team under the command of johnny cage and they are plunged into a world filled with menace betrayal and magic at times the plot itself seems a little sickly sweet for the limb shattering action that mortal kombat is known for with an emotional focus on parents jax johnny cage and sonya blade s family relationships and a budding romance between jacqui and takeda whilst these scenes can be at odds with the high level of violence the inclusion of emotional themes widens the scope kung jin s discussion with raiden about who his heart desires highlights jin as the series first gay character and this is nothing short of a definitive step forward for fighting games and is an example to the gaming industry as a whole all in all the dialogue can be sharp witted the voice acting is solid and the cutscenes themselves are nothing short of stunning the result is completely charming and whilst the skin and bones of the fantastical story are not easy to follow it ends up feeling like a classic fantasy action movie with a heart although one that might not stay in its chest for long the story is only just the beginning as mortal kombat x boasts a wealth of online content from player vs player survivor and king of the hill modes in a world where split screen gameplay is dwindling fighting games remain a multiplayer friendly experience and there is nothing better than taking it to the sofa battling it out with friends and gawping together at the hyper violent finishers that you ll fight to land on each other faction wars are also introduced to the mix all players must join one of five

kombat deadly alliance the krypt has been a staple for the series developing into a good old fashioned treasure hunt in which players use their in game coins to open coffins corpses and the like to unlock goodies such as concept art finishing moves and character skins the exploration is made more interesting by the addition of item controlled shortcuts and attacks by the areas beasts to invoke a real time event the krypt adds an element of light dungeon crawling to the game and offers an enjoyable way to take a break from tearing people apart as much as there is to do in mortal kombat x there is also plenty more that is available to purchase as dlc something which the player is made aware of fairly often in the character select screen the original mortal kombat boss goro is included but only as an available to buy icon whilst there are more intrusive ways to promote your dlc i m looking at you assassins creed unity it sours your experience when you run out of coins in the krypt and must grind to find more or pay out in actual currency 15 99 to unlock all of the game s pricey kontent skipping levels and easy fatalities are also purchasable options allowing for simple ways to execute the most complex of death inducing special moves or simply the ability to skip an essential fight altogether whilst this is nothing new it s a shame to see features that punishes the less skilled players through in game purchases in a game that takes such a light hearted approach to its hyper violent larger than life gameplay whilst the in game purchases are a disappointing sign of aaa gaming the rest of mortal kombat x offers a stunning action experience and an incredibly satisfying fighting game it combines the levity of retro arcade fighters the multiplayer couch gaming of previous console generations and the sharpness of modern aaa titles to produce a truly special fighting game experience with so much to accomplish throughout a unique style in its storytelling a gore
