It is speculated that Albertosaurus hunted in packs, making it a formidable killer. It lived in North America, so it would have fed on hadrosaurs like Saurolophus, and Ceratopsians.
Albertosaurus
Albertosaurus has been in numerous media since it was discovered. It appears in the game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for an example. Another example is in an episode of Jurassic Fight Club - 'River of Death'.
