Game Informer: Activision’s budget imprint, Activision Minneapolis, might not get as much attention as the company proper, but it’s home to one of the most diverse gaming portfolios around. In the next few months, the publisher will be releasing a helicopter sim and a hunting game; titles based on the on Bakugan, Monster Jam, and iCarly licenses; and a post-apocalyptic car-combat game.
Some of the team members at Activision Minneapolis stopped by our offices recently, and we were able to check out their upcoming lineup. Here’s what you need to know about each of those games.
Backlog Quest is a month long special event on Clearance Bin Review featuring daily game reviews of the games that have sat on the shelf for simply too long; old and new.
From Day 1 – Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011, Tristan Rendo writes "I had seen them in stores quite a bit, and there is no shortage of them, so I had wondered for quite some time just what these Cabela’s games had to offer. I remembered the older arcade games where you would shoot at animals as they ran across your path, but couldn’t imagine that concept had been packaged onto a disc and sold at original MSRP for $60. Though the presence of a gun accessory made it seem possible."
Chris Young writes, It’s a new week and time for another RipTen Rewind. For the uninitiated, the RipTen Rewind goes back and grabs a game that is more than a year old, in the $25 range and sporting an average rating around 5. The review will be a little more condensed while also taking a look the game’s impact since release, staying power and overall opinion of the title present day. So let’s get our rides gassed up and ready for this week’s high speed edition of the RipTen Rewind.
Excellent Review! I never heard of this game before, but I will definitely check it out.
