Big Buck Hunter Pro opens its shooting gallery on Xbox for Windows Phone

Before today, I didn't realize in that location was something missing in my life. That something is Large Buck Hunter Pro, the new Xbox Windows Phone game from Texas-based Merge Interactive and Microsoft Studios. Now I realize a great truth: I should have been shooting virtual deer all along. They probably deserve it!

Big Buck Hunter Pro is pretty much a direct port of the bodily arcade auto. Though the arcade business organisation itself is pretty much dead, you can see said auto at pizza buffets and motion-picture show theaters here in Texas. The arcade game is a slightly natural language-in cheek representation of the southern American hunting culture. For people who aren't part of the civilization it comes across as intentionally silly, but I get the thought that it speaks quite seriously to certain southerners like Windows Phone Central'south own George Ponder. Despite my southern surround, I tin can't pull off the accent.

Note that the 'Coin-upwardly' feature in which the phone game connects to the arcade leaderboard and profile system seems to be cleaved right at present. Not a huge deal, just I wouldn't mess with it unless you want 'connection failed' messages to pop-upwards during gameplay. The just existent disappointment in this port is that the photos of buxom women on the attract screens seem to be missing. Thanks for protecting us from the scary ladies, Microsoft! The blood on wounded animals is greenish too. They must be alien deer. :-\

Nosotros have to shoot them, or else they'll die

The phone game has three ways to play: 1 Trek, three Treks, and Bonus Only. A trek consists of 5 short levels at a single location. In that location are ii locations available at present, with four more listed every bit 'coming presently.' Perchance they'll be PDLC. The goal in each level is to impale all three bucks (male deer, not money) or elk without hitting a doe (a female deer… ray, a drop of golden lord's day). Shoot a doe (who are presumably not as tasty every bit the males) and the level ends instantly, forcing you on to the next one.

'Bonus Only' lets players choose from any of the bonus games that come upwards after a trek ends. These include shooting ducks, doves, and most amusingly: frogs, moonshine jugs, gophers, and cow pies. That's a hoot and a holler, yessir boy howdy. Plus each one has its own Accomplishment. Speaking of which, some of the Achievements in general will be tough as they require perfect accuracy in a game whose hit detection often seems off or at least overly finicky.

Yet, Big Buck Hunter Pro is genuinely fun if you enjoy shooting galleries, and it'due south awesome to have access to the whole arcade experience on the go. The 3D graphics are a tad simplistic, only then were the actual arcade game's. Plus all three modes support pass-and-play multiplayer for four people.

Large Buck Hunter Pro costs $2.99 and in that location is a free trial. Get it hither on the Windows Phone Store.

Update: Okay, so the striking detection is pretty bad, making some of the Achievements even harder than they should be. Casual players probably won't mind though.

Keeping it affordable

Review: Surface Laptop SE is the new standard for G-viii Windows PCs

Starting at just $250, Microsoft's offset foray into affordable laptops for the education marketplace is a winner. With a gorgeous design, fantabulous thermals, and a fantastic typing experience, Microsoft would do right to sell this straight to consumers too. Permit'southward just hope Intel can make a improve CPU.

Exclusivity over saturation

Why Xbox Game Pass rightfully rejects the Spotify model

Spotify is oft cited as a doomsday example of what Xbox Game Pass could practice to the video game industry. The reality is quite the opposite, Microsoft is rejecting the Spotify model, and rightfully so.
