This Week’s Features
This week, Stefan had a look at the Jurassic Park Evolution DLC, Return to Jurassic Park which finally offers players the chance to go back to the iconic park and try their hand at running things. Meanwhile, Jim was impressed by Conqueror’s Blade, a medieval game that he hopes will inspire the Dynasty Warriors developers to up their game.
While we’ve seen the likes of Pokémon Go and Harry Potter Wizards Unite take over our phones, Microsoft are having a crack at the AR phenomenon with Minecraft Earth. But, rather than collecting items, Minecraft Earth is rather unsurprisingly all about building creations.
Last up, Tuffcub delivered TSA’s very own Black Friday sale, while What We Played featured Death Stranding, Darksiders Genesis & Pokémon.
