If you have ever wanted to take on the Arctic Wilderness in person, but have a dreaded fear of hypothermia, then Cabela's and Activision have the solution for you. Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai will be coming this fall to the three major consoles. The game will come with the Top Shot Elite Controller, which is supposed to be quite precise, coming with a scope attached to the unit instead of just the standard rifle/shotgun. We've seen games like this before, but usually in just the simple form of deer, elk, bison, and small animal hunting. This game will change things up as you will need to survive and not just go on a standard game hunting trip. I like the change up with the genre, as hunting games can get dull after a short period of time. If survival is at stake, that certainly changes the game.
