DHGF: "The game itself has the standard on-rails shooting mode, but also comes with a story/survival mode. Yes, they put a story into a hunting game from the same person that wrote Resistance, and not only that, there’s a heavy emphasis on predators, and them attacking you. The PR rep with Activision stated that this is the first case of a game becoming a survival/horror/hunting game, and I believe him. I wasn’t able to get much of what was going on, but I was able to play two parts. The first is the prologue, where you see your father, back in 1982, being attacked by a bear that took out your grandfather as well. It’s now 2001, and you, the city-slicker that you are, go into the mountains with your father (sans eye, from the bear attack) and brother, to prove that you’re worthy of inheriting the lands of your father and forefathers. The voice acting and storytelling are so-bad-it’s-good laughable, and your father comes across as a mix between Kenny Rogers and Charles Bronson."
Backlog Quest is a month long special event on Clearance Bin Review featuring daily game reviews of the games that have sat on the shelf for simply too long; old and new.
From Day 1 – Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011, Tristan Rendo writes "I had seen them in stores quite a bit, and there is no shortage of them, so I had wondered for quite some time just what these Cabela’s games had to offer. I remembered the older arcade games where you would shoot at animals as they ran across your path, but couldn’t imagine that concept had been packaged onto a disc and sold at original MSRP for $60. Though the presence of a gun accessory made it seem possible."
Anyone who’s spent even a moderate amount of time in bars or movie theater lobbies should be well acquainted with Cabela’s line of hunting games, but lately something strange has been happening with the home versions of these games.

I tried MAG when it first was patched, and had a hard time keeping it level, and became motion sick. Killzone 3 is a close second, but the easiest to pick up and play is,

FAIL!
Whats the best flavor ice cream? Vanilla? Nope, I haven't tried vanilla yet...
I will save people the click and just come out and tell you what that game was. It was Cabela's Dangerous Hunting 2011.
Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I guess I would be crying if this guy was really that dumb to think Cabelas Hunting is better because, gameinformer had a video that tells a completely different story (hint: it sucks).
