It is 2008, and controversy and gaming go hand in hand. Theres another Grand Theft Auto game in the pipeline, the UK government is giving it the big I Am regarding sales of games of a certain bent to people of a certain age. For every pet simulator available, you can bet your bottom dollar there is a game featuring lovely sorts of death. Cabelas Big Game Hunter is somewhere in between, for sure. Yes, Big Game Hunter is a videogame that charges players with picking off unwitting moose, elk, deer and the like, with a steady sniper rifle. Delightful. Taken at face value - a hunting game - it does its job of immersing players in a game thats about as straightforward and no-nonsense as they come in 2008 (note that this title has been released before, in simpler times, on PlayStation 2). Its very much a case of choosing your hunter, choosing your weapon, and taking to the scenery of greenery for a shooting session. But there are hazards, and should you encounter one of the games wild cats or bears, you may find yourself in a life-threatening situation. It serves you right, you savages!
