Jurassic World Rebirth DLC gives you a reason to revisit Funko Fusion
Last year's not-Lego video game has launched new dinosaur themed DLC to promote the next Jurassic Park movie. When we were putting together our list of the best dinosaur video games, we did forget to acknowledge last year's Funko Fusion. While by no means a dinosaur game, Jurassic Park (or more specifically Jurassic World) is among thefranchises represented, with one of the playable characters even being a Dilophosaurus, Now, Funko Fusion has received two new DLC packs to tie in with the newest Jurassic Park movie – Jurassic World Rebirth – which arrives in cinemas on July 2. The packs add four new characters in total; starting with covert operative Zora Bennett and palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis, who will be played by Scarlett Johannson and Justin Bailey, respectively, in the movie. More excitingly, the other two characters are actual dinosaurs: a shrunk down Spinosaurus (which makes its return in Rebirth, after its last appearance in Jurassic Park 3) and a velociraptor – an iconic staple of the Jurassic Park movies. If you want both dinosaurs, they don't come together so you will need to buy both DLC packs. They can be purchased separately for £4.49 each, a although we found a bundle on Steam and the Xbox store that includes both packs and saves you a bit of money.

No doubt hoping that the DLC will attract new players, developer and publisher 10:10 Games is also bundling both packs with digital copies of Funko Fusion. The game itself is about £30 now, with the Jurassic World Rebirth bundle only raising the price to £34. If you're unfamiliar with Funko Fusion, it's ultimately the Funko Pop! equivalent of the Lego games by Traveller's Tales; it's even by some of the same developers, who left to form their own studio. More Trending Not only are there characters and levels from movies like Back To The Future and Jaws, but other gaming franchises as well, such as Mega Man and Five Nights At Freddy's. You can even play as KFC's Colonel Sanders. There's a mix of third person action, shooting, and puzzle solving, although strangely no splitscreen co-op on the same console. Online co-op has been added via an update though, so at least you can enjoy it with a friend now. Potentially with both of you playing as dinosaurs… Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Jonathan Bailey would have 'died in 10 seconds' if a snake bit him on the set of Jurassic World
Jonathan Bailey was told he would "die in 10 seconds" if a snake bit him on the set of Jurassic World Rebirth. The 37-year-old actor plays paleontologist Dr Henry Loomis in the seventh installment of the hit franchise, and admitted that he had "never had that kind of experience" on a movie set before as he filmed in the risky environment. He is quoted by The Daily Star Sunday as saying: "When you're making a movie, you want to feel the world of the movie as much as possible. "And my gosh, do you feel it when you're up to your waist in snake-infested waters. You have snake wranglers around you who do make you feel safe, but they also say things like, 'Be careful around this one. If you get bit, you die in 10 seconds...' "That kind of moment speaks to the visceral thrills that Jurassic movies are all about! I had never had that kind of experience on a set before. It was all very exciting and I hope it's matched by the film." However, the Wicked star was ultimately able to live out a childhood dream by appearing in the film, and recalled one of his earliest birthdays was spent watching the original film with his parents, even though it might have been a "questionable choice" at the time. He said: "We had to shoot a scene where my character must pull someone back into a boat because she's falling off the side. 'I had water cannons blasting me, the boat's flipping around, and my inner child, which isn't all that inner, was just screaming with delight. "To play Henry, who embodies the love of nature and our best curiosities about it, was great fun. "I was five when my family took me to Jurassic Park, so a questionable choice by my parents. The characters were so vivid and because it was Spielberg, it was a sumptuous escapist delight."
