Just about any kind of animal stuck in a video game makes for a funny video. For some reason, a hamster seems to be the best choice for odd creature stuck in a video game. The video is either a genius display of a very smart hamster making it through a maze or animal abuse. It’s really hard to make the call…
If you are interested in hunting wildlife, you may want to keep your eye out for ‘Deer Hunter Tournament’ this fall on the PC and Xbox 360. People are already describing it as a “multiplayer wildlife massacre”. Killing animals isn’t really my thing, so I’ll pass but figured I’d drop the news for the hunters out there…
Full Press Release:
NEW YORK, June 17 - Deer Hunter® - the biggest hunting game franchise of all time - takes dead aim at gamers once again as Atari, Inc. launches Deer Hunter Tournament for the Windows-based PC and, for the first time, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this fall. The evolution of virtual hunting has finally arrived as Deer Hunter Tournament gives players a chance to experience the most intense virtual hunting experience ever created. Deer Hunter Tournament is designed to create a massive network of Deer Hunter players by offering for the first time ever in hunting games organized, constantly updated online tournaments for both Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and through the Windows-based PC format. Deer Hunter Tournament will be available for a suggested retail price of $39.95 for Xbox 360 and $19.95 for PC.
The video above is the latest trailer showcasing Afrika, the title that some have hailed as “only possible on PS3.” This time around, though, we get a taste for what the game is aiming for — photojournalism.
You might remember that the last time you took a seat on a Jeep for a photo expedition was in Nintendo’s 1999 critter-hunter, Pokemon Snap. Afrika, as apparent in the video, should do enough to distinguish itself, though, with realistic animal models and behaviors, freedom of character movement, and a cool little video and factbook on the actual animal kingdom.
A U.S. release is to be announced, but Afrika will hit Japan in late August.
