Off Road Velociraptor Safari

Off Road Velociraptor Safari is utterly awesome. It's a browser based, 3D game in which you try to run over or bludgeon the other 'Raptors in the area. All it demands is a plugin download, but don't be put off, it takes all of twenty seconds to download and install, and you won't even have to restart your browser.

ORVS is a very accomplished little game. The graphics are impressive, the area the jeep gets to roam in is pretty sizeable, there are built in achievements, and it doesn't take long to load either. The gameplay is somewhere between Total Overdose's kill chaining and PGR's kudos system. There are many things that help you nab a better score, and if you can keep up the combos by doing more stuff, you'll score a fuckton of points. Killing the dinosaurs themselves is where the most fun lies. Your jeep trails a mace of sorts on the push of the Spacebar, and using a bit of skill and timing you can swing it round to smash the oversized chickens and hopefully stick them to it at the same time. The big points are grabbed by "Teleporting" the dinosaurs in the orange terminals scattered around the landscape, and you can pick up dinosaurs you've left lying around with the mace to assist you in doing so. It all works very well and is pretty complex and ambitious in scope for a simple browser game. What the hell are you still reading for, don't you have some time to waste?

One liner sum up: Go go Godzilla!

Remember when you were like 8 and you imagined this was what doing drugs would feel like.
