TheHunter Goes Live

Emote Games' hunting simulation, theHunter, has gone live.

The online hunting simulation is single-player and free to play, and you can now get instant access by browsing over to the official site and signing up.

TheHunter requires you to track, spot, and "harvest" animals, but also features a social networking side, allowing players to compare scores and trophies, and share tips. The fact that it's an online game also allows regular content updates, with new animals, bits of equipment, habitats, and the like.

"TheHunter addresses the lack of quality and realism found in many hunting games, which has done a great disservice to the sport and its fans for many years," said Morgan O'Rahilly, the president of Emote Games.

"By developing an experience that uses the most advanced technology and follows strict ethical guidelines, theHunter will change the way the genre is perceived and set a new benchmark for future hunting games."

We tried theHunter a while back, and rather enjoyed it, not least because of the staggering beauty contained within. Have a read and see if it's up your alley.
