Pack-ing Heat and Bad Jokes.

Remember the deers? Well, if you're going to have a game about deers then why not make a game about being a wolf? As far as I'm aware there's not many games out there that allow you to live the life of a wolf so this one is finally plugging that gap. When you think about, however, maybe these games didn't exist in the first place because they didn't have much of an audience in the first place. Anyway, this is where WolfQuest enters the picture.


What better way to describe a game about wolves than showing one urinating? In fact, establishing your own territory through 'raised-leg urination marking' something I'm pretty sure makes this game unique already. Other features include finding a mate, following scent trails, taking part in a hunt and, erm, eating stuff. The game actually has missions but the website doesn't really say anything about them. However, since the game is a role-playing game and you actually do earn experience then the missions must be something more than lying around all day or bonking your mate.

Multiplayer is also available, allowing you to form packs with other players who are wondering why they're playing a game about wolves.

To be honest it sounds a lot more interesting than The Endless Forest because, unlike that game, there's actually something to do. It's not out at the moment (it'll be free when it is) but check out the site (and the cheesy video) for more information leading up to it's December release date.

Got a game you want me to take a look at? Email me or comment in the comments section!
