XXLGaming writes, "The Big Game Hunter series takes a new direction and utilizes Kinect technology. Not only is the game Kinect enabled, but you'll also get a rifle controller as well for the actual shooting."
XXLGaming writes, "Hunting Party breaks from the mold of the normal Cabela's games we have come to expect. Plenty of arcade action and fun with this Kinect enabled title. You'll duck, jump and even sneak up on your unsuspecting targets all while using the new Top Shot Sport gun peripheral. But the novelty wears off pretty quickly."

I have never been a fan of Cabela games, but some of my friends love this. Some of these do look intesting
ENOUGH WITH THE SHOVELWARE ALREADY! microsoft seriously start working on some hardcore titles, cabelas hunting is just pure shovelware! there were like 10 cabelas on wii!
Shovelware may be crap quality, but it attracts the casuals quite easily. Remember Microsoft's last E3 and the games shown for Kinect? They are taking the Nintendo route, and this may hurt some of fanboy feelings but..hey..I rather stick with the company that isn't puting shovelware on the same balance scale as top quality games.
Interesting to see a lightgun peripheral arrive, amid increasing news of games using both sensor and controller (Steel Battalion / Ryse?).
I'd love to see Sega follow suit and bring their modern arcade gunshooters to Kinect, or Move for that matter.
is it just me, or does anyone else think that a lot of what is being tracked are those big, brightly coloured balls on the gun?
Now if only I could think of where I've seen this solution before....
Whilst not as catchy marketing wise at least this and steel battalions approach will work.
You and the controller... are the controller!
