Just when you thought they exhausted all ideas for WWII games...


Yes... that is a dinosaur with a tank on it's back and a swastika. Just when you thought WWII games just couldn't get ANY better, the guys behind Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and Left 4 Dead decided that the next logical step beyond zombies is dinosaurs. Using the Source engine, Dino D-Day pits Axis against Allies in a fight for survival, except this time, Hitler has resurrected dinosaurs to fight for his cause. The game officially releases this April on Steam for $19.99.

More after the break:



Here is an excerpt from the game's official Steam page:

"The year is 1942. Adolf Hitler has succeeded in resurrecting dinosaurs. The reptilian horde has trampled Europe and the Mediterranean. Can nothing stop the Nazi’s dinosaur army?
Dino D-Day is a frantic, action-packed multiplayer game that transports you to a World War II that should have been. You and your friends can battle online choosing to serve the cause of the Allied nations or the Nazis. The Allied side includes six playable characters each with unique weapons and abilities to use in combat. Gun down a Dilophosaur with your trusty M1 Garand, blast a kamikaze pterosaur out of the sky with your Thompson sub-machine gun, or toss out a dead jackrabbit to lure a raptor into a trap.

As an Axis player you will have your choice of three human classes and three dinosaur classes. Ambush your enemy with speed and stealth as the Raptor, mercilessly pound the enemy with a heavy 20mm gun as the Desmatosuchus, rampage through enemy groups as the Dilophosaur or pick up a body and throw it at an enemy for a double kill! Or if you prefer a rifle in your hand, the German soldier classes are the perfect complement to their dinosaur comrades.
You’ve played World War II games before…but have you played a World War II game with dinosaurs?"
