ARK Park: An up-close and safe look at the dangerous dinos of ARK

‘Jurassic ARK’ probably would’ve been lawsuit fodder ARK Park. It has a staccatoed cadence to it that’s so damn entertaining to say. I saw it on the Wednesday of GDC and spent the entirety of the week barking it out likeDMX pretending he’s a dog. Steven, who just would not stop singing the first few lines of “Bad and Boujee,” would sometimes transpose the lyrics to “Raindrop,ARK Park.” We have a lot of fun with video games, a very serious topic....

Cataclysmhas only been out for a few months, but a trademark filed for “Mists of Pandaria” suggests Blizzard may already be starting work on its nextWorld of Warcraftexpansion. For those that don’t know (basically me, about 30 minutes ago) Pandaria refers to the home land of a race of Panda-people called thePandaren. Which is pretty much the most amazing thing ever. It might be the motivation I need to finally hit the level cap to prepare for this (potential) new expansion....

As we ramp up toward the launch ofDestiny 2: The Final Shape, Bungie has been releasing ViDocs detailing the development of the last major expansion in the game’s current story arc. While these look at every aspect of the game’s new content, it’s the design for its location, the heart of the Traveler, The Pale Heart, that’s piqued my interest. InThe Final Shape, Guardians will travel into the Traveler to battle The Witness and prevent it from doing what it’s been trying to wreak havoc on the universe, as it’s been trying to do ever sinceDestinywas initially released....

I recently had the opportunity to speak with thatgamecompany’s co-founder and president Kellee Santiago aboutFlower. One of the topics covered pertained to the buzzwords “zen gaming” that I hear quite often when others are talking about the title....
