The top 10 video games of 2018 (so far)

sudshr47 June 26, 2018

We’re halfway through the year 2018 and there have already been a handful of huge gaming hits that have dominated our lives for dozens (and dozens [and dozens]) of hours.

In the spirit of all things video games, we’ve compiled all of our favorite games from 2018 thus far and put them into a handy, digestible mid-year list.

We’ve got games from all walks of life: platformers, sports games, action games, adventure games, survival games.

Without further ado, here are our top 10 games of 2018 so far:

10: Super Mega Baseball 2

Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, Super Mega Baseball 2 is a good, good time. Reminiscent of casual baseball games of yore like Backyard Baseball, Super Mega Baseball 2 ditches the realism of the most popular baseball games to focus on the fun of the game: getting hits and trying to strike out your opponents. The gameplay is technical enough to be a bit of a challenge in terms of reflexes and strategy but doesn’t get overbearing. Plus, the players’ names are hilarious: Rip Dingers, Joanna Heater, Liane Drive, and Hammer Longballo, to name a few. Read more…

As a video game that you and I can play, Evolution is also a no-brainer proposition. How did it take until 2018 for someone to leap on this idea and execute it well? Take the basic framework of a game like RollerCoaster Tycoon and replace all the rides with dinosaurs.

Basically, build your own Jurassic World. Boom. You can almost hear the money printing itself.

Evolution benefits from the fact that it’s the work of Frontier Developments, the studio behind the aforementioned RollerCoaster Tycoon series. Building your very own dino Disney World — a multi-stage operation that involves planning fossil expeditions, researching DNA, egg incubation, recreation activities, and smart facility planning — is magically approachable and satisfying, even when your lab-grown critters don’t behave.

Jeff Goldblum will help you build your own Jurassic Park this summer

Life finds a way… to insert Dr. Ian Malcolm into your video game.

Jeff Goldblum’s Jurassic Park character plays a key role in Jurassic World Evolution, a theme park-building video game coming this summer. He confirms the news himself in a newly released short video (below).

“I highly recommend it,” he says with peak Goldblum inflection. “It gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums. That’s my highest rating.”

Jurassic World Evolution looks like it delivers an experience along the lines of other business simulators like Theme Park or Planet Coaster, except there are dinosaurs. You map out your park, construct any facilities you need, and deal with crises when your dinos inevitably break loose to terrorize guests. Read more…
