Survival: Shadows of Katmai. Just give that title, discovered in web registrations back in June, a second to conjure up an image. Let it open your mind to the possibility. Take a trip through your imagination and settle your thoughts.
Now, add "Cabela's" to the front of the game's title.
Snapped that image like a finger with frostbite! Yes, the game with the very RPG-like name is just the latest Cabela's hunting game. Set in the area around Alaska's Mount Katmai, players take the role of Logan James (because "Jager Gunnerson McWhitey" was already trademarked) who survives a plane crash and now must survive rampaging caribou and varmints of unusual sizes. The game will be available November 1, 2011, for all the major consoles. Also, why is Logan being hunted by the Gmork? See, there we go again, imagining a game out of nothing.

Logan James? I guess they really wanted to call him Wolverine but realized they'd probably get sued.

He looks like a tiger with that impossibly ripped shirt / jacket / animal skin.

"So there I was, climbing out of my downed plane. I silently cursed the liberals who had cut the airport's budget, dooming me to crash in the Alaskan wilderness. I pulled out my hunting knife and sharpened it against the edge of a nearby sign. 'WILDNESS RESERVE', it proclaimed. I uprooted the sign and twisted it into a rusty metal cast for my broken arm. Looking around, I saw a group of reindeer grazing in the distance."
I drew my rifle.
Looks like I'd have to hunt my way out of this mess.

lol goddamn liberals. Don't they realize that if we don't kill the animals they will die naturally on their own? We just can't have that.

Is that knife really going to help against a pack of wolves? It looks like they have rabies. Just climb down the cliff unless they are super-powered spiderman wolves.

So this is like a redneck monster hunter, right?

Am I the only one that read "Shadows of Katamari" at first?

the wolf in the middle doesn't look like he's doing too well.

Is this the next hourly-release from Cabela?
I can't wait for "Cabela's Mars Expedition: Their blood is red too!"

It is pitch black. You are likely to be shot with your own weapon by a Grue.

this looks like the first cabela's hunt game i'll actually buy :D

Aah! It's coming right for us! Okay, now you can shoot it.

Yes, this will probably be a Cabela's cash-in. However, a wilderness survival game sounds pretty damn awesome. Since there aren't too many games like that, I'll have to check this out.
