You've fought Nazis, and you've fought Dinosaurs, but have you fought Nazi dinosaurs? You can now, with Dino D-Day, a new Half-Life 2 mod from Digital Ranch Interactive.

Digital Ranch Interactive is releasing a full Dino D-Day game onto Steam in 2010, but you can get an early taste of the twisted World War II dinosaur action right now, courtesy of a Half-Life 2 mod preview of sorts. You step into the shoes of Sgt. Jack Hardgrave, a renowned paleontologist who thought he had left work behind, until Hitler raises dinosaurs to pit against the Allies in 1942. suddenly he's perhaps the most important weapon the Allies have against this new foe.

It sounds completely ridiculous, to be sure, but at the same time completely awesome. We're conflicted. Head over to the mod page to catch a glimpse of the trailer, featuring two really bad tastes that taste horrible together.
