Say what you will about Activision as a publisher, but damn, those guys sure know how to put out incredible box art.
If and when I see Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai in a brick and mortar store, there's a good chance I'll rip off my shirt on the spot and proceed to buy the game in the manliest way possible. In this action game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, your plane has crashed in Alaska -- and every living creature is out to kill you, apparently.
Naturally, the Top Shot Elite gun controller will come (optionally) bundled with Shadows of Katmai. This thing isn't hitting shelves until November 1, 2011, sadly. The good news is it's budget-priced: $39.99 on 360/PS3 ($79.99 bundle) and $29.99 on Wii ($59.99 bundle).
...so, this is CABELAS, as in I shoot animals for fun CABELAS? Neat. I hope its good, I was turned away from hunting games because of Field and Stream.
Following the trend of sporting goods chains throwing their proverbial hat into ring in the gaming market, I'm pleased to announce "Academy Sports and Outdoors' The Right Stuff The Right Price of Freedom" TM, wherein you play a little league coach stranded in suburbia when his teams minivan mistakenly leaves for the game without him. He has precious little time to fight his way across strip malls, gas stations, and fast food restaurants, wade his way across ferocious SUV's and trucks adorned with deer skull stickers to reach his local Academy Sports and Outdoors TM with only his wits and a tee ball bat to buy sports equipment in time for the game!
@Dyn: If I get to beat up soccer moms and metrosexuals with a baseball bat (or other sporting goods equipment), where is the slot where I insert my money?
@Dyn
Make it a FPS with zombies and I think you'd be a rich man/woman. You could label it as "satire with zombies." The last boss would be a horde of aggressive little league parents.
Wow. Dynamic as fuck.
That is really cool box art
The "Cabela's" on the top corner kinda ruins it though...
They could have made it silver and more grungier to mach the logo
Making those wolves look so vicious and evil smacks a little too much of the kind of thing Der Stürmer did so many years ago to get people to think of Jewish people as monsters as opposed to human beings so they could be more easily tortured and killed with the consent of the masses. I thought we were over this kind of banal and facile propaganda?!
Yeah, I can't wait to see another dude, carrying a weapon, and being dressed the same color as the background. Activision sure knows how to make a cover art.
I mean, wow, one game with a good cover and suddendly the company has only made good covers?
When a well-received big-budget game falls below that magical $20 price point, I'm in. Green Man Gaming has an excellent deal on Tomb Raider which drops the PC version from $49.99 all the way down to $16.99. And with the promo code GMG20-LLASD-D8WBQ, it's $13.60.
Yes, that is ridiculous! Act sooner than later, as the deal is good through the rest of the day.
