PC Gamer US Podcast #303: 52 Hours
This week, Lucas carries out the cult rituals of the PCG tribe with Evan, Josh, Tyler, and Gavin as they seek the answers within to the most pressing of questions.

PC Gamer Presents: Dino D-Day revisited
If you are one of the lucky millions fortunate enough to have your mind blown by seeing Jurassic Park in the theaters, then Dino D-Day is a game tailored specifically for you. Unfortunately, this nostalgic, Source-modded cream dream—featuring flying raptors, exploding compies and a machinegun-mounted T-Rex!—somewhat failed to set the web on fire during its initial release. However, an enormous update late last year (as well as a recent PCG screening of those delicious Jurassic Park Blu-rays) reignited our passion for NAZI DINOSAURS something fierce!

Video – comparing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
We’ve dug into Valve’s sorta-sequel Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to try and gather some data on the only question we (and probably you, too) care about—what’s different? Within, we compare map segments, weapon animations and audio, smoke grenade opacity, bomb planting time, and other elements from all PC versions of Counter-Strike.
Tell us what other aspects of CS you’d like to see scrutinized, and we’ll get crackin’ on them.
