DinoHunters brought to you by ..Schick Quattro

[CptStern]

The first in a series of new retail-quality “advergaming” titles from Kuma, DinoHunters is offered to consumers for free, using advertising to pay the cost of development and distribution. The first episode of DinoHunters is sponsored by Schick, for which Kuma developed an advergame campaign for the Schick Quattro razor.

oh look, in game product placement:

Kuma Reality Games, the leaders in episodic, television-like video games, introduces the release of its first episode of DinoHunters, a free, online first-person shooter propelled by comical in-game scripting and a massive upgrade in game technology.

With a script penned by former Maxim Magazine editor-in-chief Keith Blanchard, DinoHunters involves the wanton and bloody destruction of dinosaurs for a fictional sports broadcast style-hunting show. This wild action comedy stars three dysfunctional celebrities, a sexy TV producer, a one-of-a-kind time-travel premise and numerous mean-spirited, hungry, yet soon-to-be extinct giant reptiles. Hilarious scripted sequences bring a televised sit com-style flavor to the game, which is developed on Source – the same engine Valve created to power Half-Life 2.

Adware ftl?

You can't really complain about a free game now can you. (Though i know some of you will )

A little bit of advertising never hurt anyone, one scene where the guy is shaving's not gonna ruin the game. And i doubt there would be any adware to come with this because nobody would download it.

Doubt it's my kind of game though.

[Insano]

Jesus, guys.

You're getting a game on the Source engine for free and you're complaining about a bit of advertising?

I'll be playing it for sure.

[weskerQ8]

anyone knows when its going to release ?

 

[Lucid]

Retail quality my ass...

I just played it.

Low-res textures, weapon models clipping through the hands, mediocre voice work.

Shooting down Pteradons was kinda've fun though... for 2 minutes :|

Will see if there's more than skeet shooting tommorow when I get home from school.
