Welcome back to RAD, ladies and gentlemen! In today’s edition of the show we are taking off to the wonderful Ibis Island to see the sights and wonders of the third energy project… and what is it you ask?
About the stupidest thing Birdman has ever heard of!
Dino Crisis is the game in the crosshairs today. We have dinosaurs and a group of plucky military types here to save the day! We also have the guy behind the Resident Evil franchise, Shinji Mikami…I mean, what could possibly suck about this? Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?!?!!
Stay tuned after this episode to find out to who may never tune into an episode of Walking with Dinosaurs again! Was this worth the 14 year wait for Birdman to finish?

Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier.
Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college.
4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….

i think dino crisis 2 is better than the first. the scenary is better, the story is better, the characters are better to me. Overall, i think dino crisis 2 was what dino crisis was intended to be.
Good review, Mike. I was bummed to hear how much you didn’t care for this particular title, though. To a degree, it sounds like your expectations might have ruined it, but I could be wrong.
I will definitely agree with you on the DDK system and puzzles, those were a bit of a waste of time. I came into this game thinking “Well its Capcom, so logic and science have no place here.” I did enjoy the game for the most part, despite the flaws. I liked the “Danger” moments, particularly the “pterodactyl into the fan” event….that got a good laugh from me.
