T-Rex isn’t so scary in this Lego Jurassic World teaser trailer

By Will Fulton February 5, 2015

A teaser trailer for Lego Jurassic World shows some of the silliness you can expect from the upcoming game. In it, the iconic shaking glasses of water give way to a terrifying T-rex, who is quickly and literally defanged when his plastic lower jaw falls off (which he is unable to collect with his scrawny arms, of course). It’s slightly reminiscent of the classic short film Bambi Meets Godzilla.

The game, teased at the end of Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and officially confirmed recently, encompasses all four Jurassic Park films, including the upcoming Jurassic World. It will arrive in fall 2015 for Nintendo, PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox platforms and their assorted handhelds.

The T-rex in the trailer may be easily thwarted by its limited wingspan, but we’re all screwed when the lab-created T-rex with beefy arms, revealed in the new trailer, breaks loose. Even Star Lord on a motorcycle with velociraptors might not be enough.

Skull and Bones: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

Two ships fire cannons at each other other a small island in Skull & Bones.

Ubisoft has a few notoriously troubled games in development that have left fans scratching their heads for years now. Aside from Beyond Good and Evil 2, the most curious game that has managed to avoid cancellation despite years of delays, restarts, and who knows what else behind-the-scenes drama is the pirate game Skull and Bones. It was first announced in 2017, and we've gotten almost nothing but bad news regarding this title in the years since. Despite having a playable build in 2018, for press only, the game has undergone major, if not complete overhauls.

Promised as a fully fleshed-out game built around the incredibly popular ship combat featured in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Skull and Bones was poised to make a big splash following that game's success. Gamers loved all the pirate activities seen in that game, so expanding on that should have been an easy move. However, public statements about the game have almost completely vanished, leaving many gamers high and dry regarding the status of this pirate epic. We pulled out our compass, plotted our course, and dug up all the details on Skull and Bones that you need to know.

Best Spider-Man games of all time, ranked

A screenshot from The Story So Far in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

As one of, if not the, most popular superheroes ever created, Spider-Man has swung across just about every entertainment medium there is since his humble beginnings in comic books. In addition to cartoons, TV shows, and many blockbuster films, he's also starred in tons of video games. With a history in the genre dating back to the old Atari days, the wisecracking webhead has had plenty of ups and downs in his video game representation over the decades. He's been portrayed in multiple art styles and genres, and passed between many developers, but some stand out as being more spectacular than others. We can't list every game Spider-Man has appeared in without taking up your entire day covering it all, so here are just the best of the best Spider-Man games of all time, ranked from best to worst.

Fortnite Festival will leave you wishing for a real Rock Band revival

It’s been a wild three days for Fortnite. First, the battle royale game expanded with Lego Fortnite, a full survival crafting game with extensive brick-building. Just one day later, Psyonix dropped its latest game, the excellent Rocket Racing, in the app. Epic Games is completing its hat trick today with Fortnite Festival, a music experience crafted by Guitar Hero-maker Harmonix. It’s a fitting way to cap off a festive few days for the most popular game around -- or, at least, it sounds like one on paper.

In reality, Fortnite Festival is the oddest addition to the live service game's new offerings. It essentially adds both Rock Band and Fuser into Fortnite, though each is implemented in a way that doesn’t quite live up to their full counterparts. Whereas Rocket Racing feels like a fully original game that could have stood on its own, Fortnite Festival plays more like the bonus mode you’d probably expect from this endeavor.
