There may not be a big brand name stamped on it, but this gem sure ain't from the land of the lost

Sep 29, 2006

The most obvious difference between ParaWorld and the rest of the stagnating real-time strategy genre is its bizarre setting: a world where dinosaurs remain. Its ham-fisted, borderline satirical storyline is a bit embarrassing, as is some of the accompanying voice-over work, but such complaints are small potatoes compared to everything this game gets wonderfully right. Everything about ParaWorld just screams low-brow fun, from the colorful dinosaurs and huge indigenous animals your troops can ...

ParaWorld - hands-on

We tame a dinosaur packed strategy battleground that is anything but fossilized

Aug 24, 2006

We can't quite put our finger on what makes ParaWorld 's unique brand of dinosaur stomping real-time strategy gameplay such pure awesomesauce. Sure, commanding a legion of ballista-launching Triceratopses made our inner third-graders swoon, but the delicious visuals and attention to details satisfied our grown-up side at the same time.

Ancient tribes of men control these beasts and form armies made of 100% pure childhood imagination - seriously, who didnt love dinosaurs when they were a kid? Three factions represent ... » Read Full ParaWorld preview

Or Age of Empires meets Jurassic Park

Feb 15, 2006

Contrary to that ker-azy title, ParaWorld isn't actually based on the SAS, the Special Olympics or the X-Files. It's actually an RTS with an emphasis on sharp teeth and rank breath... ParaWorld's real strength stems from the dino factor, which an incredible amount of imagination and silky art skills have obviously gone into. From vicious little raptors, robo scorpions and Pteradons packing rocket launchers to Titans complete with full body armour, they're stunningly animated and beautifully ... » Read Full ParaWorld preview
