Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
There was a fun old-school game from the 80s called Boulder Dash where you had to dig your way through some sort of weird dirt filled underground maze to gather a bunch of gems, but you had to be very where you dug because if you dug in the wrong places you would be crushed by boulders!

For having the cover stuff, it actually is less of a cover shooter than the other two- most of the time in 1 and 2 you're still just poking around a corner anyway, in 3 you can do the crazy matrix poo poo a lot more.

No. The mechanics were awesome but the story was complete rear end with four different types of secret police.

agreed, the story in the first one was very excellent and stylish, and the third is just rockstar grim schmuckiness

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Worms 3D was unfairly maligned, and backlash against it made them just go back to recreating the same tired formula again because of fanboy pressure rather than attempt to polish a new formula with good potential. Multiplayer in that game was a lot of fun.

the best worms is Armageddon for the game boy color because despite the obvious limitations of the system Nintendo's ultrastrict quality controls forced team17/microprose/whoever to find and fix most of their otherwise ubiquitous game-ruining bugs

"Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath" is the best, most innovative fps in the last 15 years. Better story and weapons than anything I can think of.

I went through zeno clash on the xbox and it left no real impression on me. The art style is interesting but I can't remember the story apart from some weird "mother" thing? And the final boss was dumb, but they usually are.

Are there any good final bosses? Like epic battles with a satisfying denouement?

It kinda sucked in the middle and beginning but it ended a lot better than the secret society bullshit from the first two.

Disagree, it was novel the first time. Also it was very noir to kill off mona for good in the second.

there's some fanpatch/updated version thing floating around that is sort of in a legal gray area because the rights to NOLF are such a hideous clusterfuck that nobody really has standing to shut it down

I thought this until I got the Steam version. The weapons are really cool and it's a shame more games don't utilize the "traps" type of mechanic.

Why until? You're right, each ammo type is unique, and that can't be said for most shooters, where it's just faster/slower, less power/more power, spread/no spread.

I'm saying I have fond-rear end memories of playing it back in 2005, then when I played it again in 2015 I discovered that the game had not aged well. Hell, it felt half-baked in 2005 but I forgave it because holy poo poo it was trying something new with an FPS. It's a great game, but it's not a very good one.
