The best prehistory games

Dinosaurs and cavemen appear in numerous prehistoric-themed games. The prehistoric age is rarely depicted realistically, but that hardly matters - who doesn’t love battling a giant T-Rex or time-traveling to the dawn of civilization? Some prehistoric-themed games are even set in modern times, blending prehistoric elements with contemporary settings (hint: Jurassic Park).
