Ripten: Ok, so we’ve got a Cabela’s hunting game, with a story written by Brad Santos (Resistance: Fall of Man), that uses a bad ass wireless rifle as a controller. You officially have our attention
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."

FAIL!

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).
So Activision got the guy who wrote Resistance to write their hunting game and made a whole new rifle controller for it? Holy budget Bobby!!
Hunting...meh.
People still play these games?
I've been that big a fan of hunting games, but this has me really excited. It's probably the gigantic rifle. That's probably it.
I only like the hunting games in an actual arcade..which i can only find at bowling alleys lol
