Posted on January 31, 2018 by Joshua Rust

Frontier Developments have releases yet another dinosaur profile for their upcoming simulation game Jurassic World: Evolution. The Ceratosaurus, which basically means “horned lizard” from Greek translation, is definitely a “meat eating Meatasaurus” as once described by young Lex in Jurassic Park.  Previously, we’ve had only the Triceratops profiled up to this point, but I’d expect lot more to be coming as these did. Jurassic World: Evolution is expected to release sometime this summer for Xbox One, PS4, and Steam.

Growing up with the Jurassic Park franchise, I won’t deny that my nostalgia got the best of me when this game was first announced.

Microtransactions Outpacing Game Sales Sets a Worrying Precedent

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

You might have already heard the news yesterday: Ubisoft mentioned on their Investor’s Call that “Player Recurring Investments” (read: microtransactions) have outpaced the sale of full price and discounted digital copies of their games for the first time ever. In terms of raw numbers of the 343 million euros the company made from their digital businesses 175 million Euros were the result of “Player Recurrent Investments” (which include microtransactions, add-on DLCs, Rainbow Six Siege Season Passes, subscriptions and those sorts of things).
