Peripheral toys for gaming consoles have always added a little "something extra" to the gaming experience. Whether it was the PowerGlove, ROB the robot, or the newest peripheral that I own, a giant orange rifle for my Wii. It came with Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 (see above).
Now this wasn't a purchase that I feel is going to change the way I play games. In fact, the only reason I bought this game is because shooting animals IN THE FACE is far more hilarious than PETA would have you believe. I do not hunt in real life. In fact I'm hardly fire arms proficient (though I have tried). That being said there is something inherently fun about a game that is more focused on the strategy of sneaking up on a target and then watching from a bullet's eye view as your perfect shot takes them down.
The first time I played a hunting game was for my original Xbox, back in 2006. There were rifles and bows, and also knives. Now obviously a real man would use just the knife, right? Here's my personal best from hunting with a knife: I took on a polar bear, a POLAR BEAR, man-o a bear-o on the side of a highway and I won!!! While realism isn't in the cards for this gaming franchise, it's remarkably entertaining simply for comic value. I would suggest trying a Wii shooting game with a gun peripheral. It takes the gaming experience to another level and makes the action more engrossing. As for me, the giant rifle is nice, but I can't wait to try and take on another bear with my bare hands (and REALLY big knife)...
