    Activision always asks me, "Justin, what do we have to do to get you to cover games in our popular Cabela's hunting series?" I never imagined, when I demanded the company drive a trailer with a fake bighorn sheep to the hospital parking lot directly behind my house, that I'd be taken so literally. So, against all odds, here's a video tour of the Adventure Starts Here trailer, coming to a parking lot somewhere near you. Oh, and you'll also get a look at the new Kinect controller for Cabela's Hunting Party and some gameplay footage from Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai. Wanna see the trailer for yourself? We've got a full list of stops after the break.

  • Cabela's Hunting Party revealed, Kinect friendly

    It's rare that we feel the need to warn our readers about their safety when writing up product announcements, but in the case of Activision's announcement this afternoon of a Kinect-enabled Cabela's game, we thought it might be necessary. Cabela's Hunting Party will launch this coming quarter (sometime before the end of September) alongside less potentially life-threatening titles like X-Men Destiny and the just announced Call of Duty: Black Ops "Rezurrection" DLC. As the game was only briefly mentioned in an investor release, we can't be sure just how it uses Kinect in conjunction with the simulation hunting aspect of usual Cabela's titles, but we're cautiously interested in finding out. Regardless, we encourage people to remove any firearms from their home before allowing Cabela's Hunting Party in.
