This month PC Gamer gets world-exclusive access to Dinolords, the roarsome new RTS where you wage war with medieval knights and dinosaurs. Yes, you read that right! It’s a totally bonkers premise, but one that is genuinely fresh and exciting, with the game’s developer, Northplay, attempting to evolve the RTS genre in some really interesting ways. This is the velociraptor riding, knights versus vikings fighting, medieval fortress building RTS spectacular you fever dreamed up in school, but made real. And, with unrivaled studio and game access, our lead Dinolords feature is truly dino-mite!<\/p>\n

If all that explosive dinosaur action wasn’t enough, though, this issue also features the grand unveiling of the winners of our annual Game of the Year Awards, too. This year has been incredibly rich in great new games across a wide range of genres, and filtering all those new releases down into just a handful of winners was incredibly tough. However, after much voting and debate, winners have been chosen, and new gaming legends have been made.<\/p>\n
