Preview: Dante’s Inferno “Gates of Hell” Demo

I’d like to cordially invite you into Hell. Yes, the fiery pit of despair that it’s said you’ll be banished to if you commit enough sins in your meager mortal lifetime. Throw away your inhibitions and ready yourself to witness copious amounts of filth, despair, desolation, and self-loathing. Really, you’ll be glad you did. There’s nothing to fear, especially if you’re on a mission to reclaim your lover’s soul from the likes of Lucifer while wielding the scythe of Death himself. So walk with me through the nine vicious circles of hell. Fear nothing, as you have now become death. You have become he who walks amongst the shadows. You are Dante.

At the very least, the animals aren’t being needlessly harmed (and often wasted). Unfortunately, I live in a state where hunting is lauded and praised for being some kind of rite of passage, and I know a little bit more than I’d like to thanks to millions of conversations with friends and acquaintances. One thing that I do love are FPSs and any title that involves fragging digital enemies, and Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures goes a little way to entertain that love and combine real sport hunting into a decent hunting sim for those who either echo my sentiments about the hobby or who would rather not get their hands dirty.
