Indie Royale Xmas Bundle has Eets, Dino D-Day and more
The latest Indie Royale bundle has more than enough holiday cheer to warm the deepest, darkest cockles of your heart-meat. The "Xmas Bundle" nets its purchasers six games for the price of ... well, a street vendor hot dog -- there's the remastered Blackwell Trilogy (which is technically three games, right?), the Source-powered Dino D-Day, the topical sim The Oil Blue and the effortlessly delightful Eets. The whole bundle's currently available (at the time of this writing) for $3.80 -- a price which will increase as time goes on, but decrease if purchasers pay more than the minimum amount. Act fast! Or, for our sakes, act charitable.
Enjoy free days of Dino D-Day this weekend
There is a game called Dino D-Day, and you haven't played it. Doesn't that thought just kind of eat away at you, like a Nazi dinosaur in slow motion? Luckily, you'll get a risk-free chance to experience the multiplayer shooter this weekend, as Steam is opening up Dino D-Day to free play until Sunday at 1PM PST (4PM EST). If you decide it's the game for you (once again, this is a game about human soldiers, fighting in World War 2 aside dinosaurs), you be able to buy a for-keeps copy at a discount. That's $5 for one copy or $15 for a four-pack. It's half the normal price, and one-quarter the launch price.
Dino D-Day available now on Steam for $20
The time has come, dear friends, for all of us to face down our two greatest fears: Dinosaurs, and Nazis who have learned how to wield dinosaurs as gargantuan, reptilian weapons of mass destruction. The Source Engine-based multiplayer shooter Dino D-Day is available now through Steam for $19.99 (or $59.99 for a four-pack). The game pits nine different human soldier classes against an army of three different dinosaur types: The Velociraptor, Dilophosaur, and Desmatosuchus. Check out the gameplay video after the jump to get a taste for ... did that dinosaur just kill a player by throwing a goat at him? We must own this game.
Source SDK being patched for mods on Mac
Since Steam launched for Mac earlier this month, those of us enjoying the service have been seeking the answer to one crucial question: Will we ever be able to shoot Nazi dinosaurs like everyone else? It appears our answer is "yes, eventually," as one Valve employee took to the publisher's forums to respond to fans questions about whether Source mods would be available on Mac, saying, "We are working on a code update so you can compile your mods for OS X." The employee doesn't go into specifics, but MacStories guesses we could see the update as soon as WWDC. Frankly, it's possible that the update will arrive around then, but we'll probably be so ensconced in news about the new iPhone that Nazi dinosaurs will be far from the top of our priority list. Oh, who're we kidding? Killing Nazi dinosaurs is always near the top of the priority list. [Via MacStories]
There's a game that exists which has Nazi Dinosaurs in it
Okay -- Time Gentlemen, Please featured a number of Hitler-Heiling prehistoric lizards, so we guess there's now two games out there which feature Nazi Dinosaurs. Still, the more recent title to boast the hybrid, a Half-Life 2 mod titled Dino D-Day, actually allows you to go toe to talon with with these fanged, scaly members of the Third Reich. You can check out an overwhelmingly patriotic trailer for the mod over on ModDB -- or, if you're in the mood to massacre some Nazi Dinos right now, the mod is also available to download. (To be fair, the dinosaurs featured in Dino D-Day are unable to speak, so it's difficult to know whether they harbor the disturbing political and social beliefs of the Nazi party. However, they're affiliated with them in combat, so we've got no reservations about punching them repeatedly in their stupid dinosaur faces.)
