Published: July 30, 2010
With our offices located in the heart of San Francisco (and no I will not tell you exactly where...) and myself stationed in Central Alaska, you might imagine I have quite the commute every day to work. And you would be right. 3000 miles of some of the harshest terrain known to man, my trip is way more harrowing than anything that happened in those ice caves on Hoth. I routinely come face to face with some of the deadliest creatures whatever passes for God has to throw at me. In the past, I carried a really nice Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum (same model as Dirty Harry used) for protection, but after I lost it in a game of Liar's Dice I was forced to resort to using a Wii Zapper (actually a Nyko Perfect Shot) to protect myself, and the results haven't been pretty. It can be hard to type with one hand, but you do get used to it.
Thankfully our good friends at Activision and Cabela are taking the faux-gun to a whole new level with the upcoming release of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011. Developed by the team at Activision that created the guitar controllers for the Guitar Hero franchise, the groundbreaking TOP SHOT ELITE will redefine how first-person action games are played. Operating with 2.4GHz wireless technology and including a sensor bar and high-sensitivity camera, this ain't your daddy-cousins light gun. The scope includes a red lens filter that gives players a different perspective on the environment, exposing hidden animal tracks and blood trails. The TOP SHOT ELITE also features pump-action reload and an adjustable stock to fit gamers of all sizes. My 4 year old daughter is all too excited for this, let me tell you!
An extremely high level of production value and attention to detail has been injected into the Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011 story and gameplay. Scripted by renowned scriptwriter and creative director Brad Santos [Ed. note: Never heard of the guy...], the game tells the story of Cole Rainsford, who has joined his estranged father on an African safari to hunt savage animals that have been terrorizing remote villages. Soon finding themselves stranded, their survival depends on cunning instinct and expert skill to make it out alive. The game also includes next-generation shooting galleries featuring hot-seat, multi-stage and head-to-head multiplayer options – perfect for playing with the TOP SHOT ELITE.
“Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011 is the complete entertainment package – no one is offering gameplay this intense and a controller this amazing,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “The TOP SHOT ELITE is so captivating that I believe hordes of first-person action fans will snap up the game just to get it.”
Stories like this don't come along every day, and we will be sure to keep you updated with regular stories on just how realistic that grizzly bear thought the TOP SHOT ELITE was right before he mauled my face off.
