I’m looking for some sort of fps or hunting game or rpg set in the wilderness that involves hunting? Perferablly set in Africa, but not necessary. I have an idea for a machinima involving the thoughts of a hunter… Any ideas? Oh, and it should have the main character be freemoving (1st or 3rd) rather than automatically moving like in arcade games. ---

Er, could a Mod please edit the title to be more descriptive? ---

Cabela’s Big Game Hunter comes to mind. I haven’t actually played it, but it seems to fit the bill. ---

Far Cry 2 is a (beautiful) FPS set in Africa. It doesn’t involve hunting, but there’s game around. ---

Red Dead Redemption has a big hunting element, but is set in the latter days of the Old West. Can’t think of anything set in Africa. ---

I can think of one game, but unfortunately, you can only carry 100 pounds of food back to your wagon. -Regardless or how many animals you shoot. It runs on an Apple lle though. ---

The publishers of Big Game hunter has a whole line of them. They were a huge fad back in the 90’s. I don’t think any modern publishers have gone with it, but really, it’s a perfect genre for PC or the Wii. ---

There’s a game called Afrika on the ps3 that’s about taking pictures of African wildlife. I think that fits what you’re looking for as long as shooting pictures instead of bullets will work with whatever you had in mind. ---

You can get it on the Iphone. -Not sure if that is counted in the official 5 installments they have made. ---

**Cabela’s African Safari** seems right on the nose. I picked up a new Xbox 360 copy at Wal-Mart for $5 about a year ago.
