Live from my house: The Cabela's Adventure Starts Here tour
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 Survival: Shadows of Katmai opens up its manly heart
If we didn't know any better (and we generally don't), we'd think Cabela's has gone soft on us. A new trailer for Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai has all the nasty beasties and ferocious growling that any hunting game should, but it also has a heart -- in the trailer, it appears our hunting hero saves a helpless woman from the dark and cold, um, shadows of Katmai, which is not a fantastical land east of Rivendell. The woman, however, is still pretty helpless, because this is a hunting game for real men, and it takes a certain amount of distressed-damsel-saving to maintain such an illustrious title.
Cabela's Hunt: Shadows of Katmai is still a hunting game, even if it sounds like an RPG
Survival: Shadows of Katmai. Just give that title, discovered in web registrations back in June, a second to conjure up an image. Let it open your mind to the possibility. Take a trip through your imagination and settle your thoughts. Now, add "Cabela's" to the front of the game's title. Snapped that image like a finger with frostbite! Yes, the game with the very RPG-like name is just the latest Cabela's hunting game. Set in the area around Alaska's Mount Katmai, players take the role of Logan James (because "Jager Gunnerson McWhitey" was already trademarked) who survives a plane crash and now must survive rampaging caribou and varmints of unusual sizes. The game will be available November 1, 2011, for all the major consoles. Also, why is Logan being hunted by the Gmork? See, there we go again, imagining a game out of nothing.
