"Dinosaurs are awesome!", as one of my favorite youtube channel constantly spouts. And I agree wholeheartedly. I used to have this big book all about dinosaurs aptly named "The Big Book of Dinosaurs". I've watched Jurassic Park and it's sequels multiple times. Not enough to quote the movies by heart but enough that I get this sadistic pleasure in seeing the Dilophosaurus kill that fat dude in the first movie. Unfortunately, dinosaurs in GOOD video games, are few and far between.

As a whole, we are enamored with all sorts of creatures and it shows in our video game preferences. If you look at the wikipedia article attached and scroll down to the bottom, you'll find the list of video games based on characters. They include: Cats, Dragons, Gangsters, Ghosts, Ninjas, Vampires and Zombies. In fact, games with zombies are far and away the most popular preference. So why is there no love for dinosaurs in video games?

It's because video game developers have not considered what a game based on dinosaurs need. Ultimately, they need to make the giant reptiles the focus of the game. The player is just that, a character in the game that interacts with them. Perhaps with the technology we have now we can see more love to the giant reptiles. I mean, do you really want another zombie game?
