Take control of a zippy velociraptor as it tears across a 2-D sidescrolling landscape, collecting eggs and gobbling small animals while fleeing an approaching meteoric apocalypse. Pixeljam's Dino Run hearkens back to the early days of video games, when the pixels were huge, the controls were simple, and the sound effects were loaded with crunchy white noise.

It'd be easy to write off Dino Run as just another retro-styled sidescroller if it wasn't so clever and completely awesome. It blends old-school aesthetics with new ideas, providing a surprisingly interactive environment where you can hitch rides on passing stegasauri, catch a lift with pterodactyls, and more. Plus multiple difficulty levels, stat tracking, unlockable cheats, and downloadable bonus content. You can even upgrade your raptor by collecting bits of DNA. And there's a drop-in multiplayer race component with a slick, functional lobby. Altogether too much fun.
