Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm

FIREWALL · 06-14-08, 03:11 PM

Got this game when SubSim was down.

At $40.00 it was a little pricey but gameplay made it IMHO worth it.

Here's a link to learn more about it.

It's out?!?!?!?!

FIREWALL · 06-14-08, 03:50 PM

Yep

Got it at my local GameStop store.

As I stated it was pricey but, I'm sure it will go down.

I needed a fix while S.S. was down.

Was it the X360 version or the PC version? I had heard the X360 version had hit stores today but the PC version was still some weeks away

I am interested in the first reviews (personal and from magazine). Really looking forward to this game.

Raptor1 · 06-15-08, 03:28 AM

Even though these kinds of games get screwed up really easily by money-hungry project managers and companies, I'm really looking forward to this one

Midnight Hunter · 06-15-08, 03:19 PM

Sure wish there a gamestop around here cause there is NO other store in Canada carrying it yet.. unavailable anywhere :P

GlobalExplorer · 06-16-08, 12:03 PM

Could someone please write a review? I am really looking forward what the subsim hivemind has to say to this.

And are there any online reviews yet?

EDIT: I just found this:

and I like this:

Conclusion

This game is not for the person that lives and thrives off of Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3. This game is for fans of the TV shows and people that are into simulation games. Alaskan Storm does a great job of capturing every aspect of being a captain and crab fisherman of the Bering Sea. This game is one like the Xbox community has never seen before and a welcome edition to my shelf of games.

Thanks for the review.. give me something to read until the game ships to the western half of Canada :P

Raptor1 · 06-16-08, 12:31 PM

Exactly what I expected

EDIT: watashi wa samurai desu

How'd you get the PC version? I've been following this game since May and thought they were releasing it next week.
