Top 10: Games Based on Dinosaurs

Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "We here in Canda are extremely proud of all of our sports teams. From the kids starting up in Timbits, the junior level all the way to the pro’s, we will always find the means to show off our support and back our team whichever sport is played. That leads us to the Toronto Raptors who have fought and clawed their way to their first ever NBA Finals in franchise history up against the Golden State Warriors. As the entire country cheers on the Raptors in the pursuit of their first NBA title, we count down the best video games based off of dinosaurs."

I agree with the top 3 of Dino Crisis, Turok 2, and Primal Rage....Jurassic World Evolution is a great park building sim and should be on there, the Jurassic Park Sega CD game should be on there too.... list articles are just opinion fluff

I played Jurassic Park Rampage Edition a shit ton on the Genesis. Loved playing as a raptor trying to escape the island. Also had a lot of fun playing Jurassic Park 2 on the SNES though I could never beat that one.

I love how the father takes no responsibility in teaching his son, it's all Apple's fault that he wasn't notified.. :P

* I knew not to do stuff like that when I was 4-5 years old.

Some kids aren't as smart as I was though, and need to be parented better.

Even then, some kids just do what they want so there needs to be a way to disable in game purchases within these games if a parent wants that.

Have them have to type in a password to enable in game purchases.

There problem solved.

Shouldn't take more than a week to program/code that into a game for these developers.

My kids have their own accounts with no credit card attached. Even my four-year-old son. It is possible to do this. Parental controls on the device go a step further in restricting browser access, store access, and even camera/microphone access. I also have restrictions on our Wifi router so that I can monitor all activity and restrict certain things as needed.

Many parents have no clue how to set devices up for a child, however, and that is the fault of their own inability to lose their ignorance before handing a potentially dangerous device over to a child.

PancakeLova3408d ago

Daddy should have beaten that child

Kalebninja3408d ago

Oh yeah, when a child does something they weren't aware had consequences we should totally get physical with them. /s

TFJWM3408d ago

He is 7 by that age you understand how money works he just didn't care...

BiggerBoss3408d ago

$4000. Yes, that is worth spanking a child over.

Rachel_Alucard3408d ago (Edited 3408d ago )

@TFJWM

Actually things like that are entirely dependent on if he was taught from someone or learned from another or not. Age has nothing to do with money skills. Some teens out there have never even touched a phone in their life in this day and age and that's probably because there was never a desire nor need to use a phone in their household (as bad as that sounds).

Kalebninja3408d ago

When you hit a kid that just shows you aren't capable of teaching them in any other way so you hit them. It's an unintelligent demeaning way of raising a kid.

This is why my phone, my 3DS XL, my daughter's tablet, and my PS4 all have password restrictions before any purchases can be made. I also make it so that my card information has to be entered manually every time on the devices i can.

I'll be damned if my daughter is going to spend all our money on accident lol.

Lon3wolf3408d ago

This completely, I do the same it's down to the parents to lock out payments etc. if you don't know just ask someone will know and can help you.

CorndogBurglar3408d ago

Absolutely. Most devices ask if you want them to remember your card info. All you have to do is say no. Sure it takes a little more time enter that stuff when I want to buy something, but when you have a 5 year that doesn't realize they are spending money on things its a lifesaver.

DeToX4203408d ago

Kids these days. I didn't get t first cell phone until I was 16 and I had to pay for it myself. This next generation is in trouble.

CorndogBurglar3408d ago

While a lot of kids do have their own phones at a young age, this isn't clear if this was the child's phone or not. It says the kid memorized his father's Apple ID, so I assume it was on his dad's device.

But again, my 5 year old has her own tablet. Its a simple matter to set parental controls.

If the father was that upset with apple, maybe he shouldn't have synced his credit cards to his account. Good old fashioned "enter payment information to proceed" mentality!!!

Jurassic World: The Game - How to level and evolve your dinosaurs

Jurassic World: The Game is, like DragonVale and many others, all about running out some of the most powerful dinos around, or at least the most powerful that you can manage to obtain, because they are going to be needed for battle. You'll battle both against Vic Hoskins and against other players and their dino teams, but to keep up you will constantly need to level and to evolve your dinos.
