Humpday Harpooning

Sure you can spend all day playing this game, just don’t tell your boss we said it was ok. The game is actually after the break because I couldn’t disable the sound when it loaded. Wouldn’t want to alert your co-workers, right.

Rapala Pro Bass Fishing’s Biggest Fish

If you’ve played Rapala Pro Bass Fishing, you know there are some big fish to be caught. None however, are bigger then this one!

Rapala Pro Bass Fishing 2010 For Xbox 360 Reviewed!

You’ve waited long enough- here it is! The official Fishing Fury review of Rapala Pro Bass Fishing 2010 for the 360!

The road to creating a great fishing video game is very difficult, which is probably why there are so many bad fishing games out there. Trying to please fishermen and gamers alike is even more difficult. Today’s gamers demand more than ever in terms of graphics and entertaining gameplay while fishermen want an game style that feels like fishing. A good fishing game doesn’t have to capture every aspect of fishing, it only has to capture the rush you feel when you’re fishing.

Rapala and Activision have teamed up to combine their respective fields of expertise into an entertaining and immersive video game for every major gaming console (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii) and handheld (PSP, DS, iPhone/iTouch/iPad). Unfortunately I can’t review the game for every platform, though I may pick up the iPhone version later. I was however lucky enough to receive Rapala Pro Bass Fishing for the 360, complete with the full motion fishing rod controller, and since I was home sick with the flu it provided the perfect opportunity to really sit down and grind some lakes.

Bass Pro Shop The Strike Is Out!

We posted about The Strike a while back, and now its out! Its the third fishing game released this month! (also see Wii Fish and Anglers Dream) I’m hoping to get a copy next week and test it out! Check out the trailer.

The trailer looks pretty good, offering multiple species. Unfortunately the graphics aren’t up to par with other games that have come out recently.

Bass Pro Shops: The Strike

There are a few new fishing games due out later this year, and Bass Pro has decided to release their first fishing game since Trophy Bass 2007 into the mix. The Trophy Bass series was pretty solid, so I expect big things from their new game The Strike. You can expect to see several lakes and species available as well as a unique controller.

Try not to let that bad acting take away from it…

Fish Eyes Wii

Its been a while since I’ve played a really good fishing game. I’ve tried about on the Wii, but I haven’t been terribly impressed despite the unique controls. There are at least four or five Wii fishing games currently, and there’s another on the way. No date yet on a North American release, but here is the Japanese debut trailer.

The graphics aren’t the greatest, but it looks like this game will have both fresh and saltwater locations and species!

It will be released in North America under the name Reel Fishing Anglers Dream.
