Not to be outdone by the harsh competition in the hunting game genre, Cabela's has gone the way of the narratively driven videogame with Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai, supported by perhaps the greatest box art of 2011.

Nobody was expecting this to be the best game of 2011, of course, but it had all the potential of being this year's Deadly Premonition -- a campy and hilariously bad, but strangely enjoyable game. Too bad it doesn't quite deliver.
