Duck & Cover, Daffy! Mastiff's Great American Bird Hunt Is Coming in November

Now, I could make the requisite "Dick Cheney is an unlockable character" joke, but it's too damn obvious of a poke at the ex-VP (besides, he might show up on my doorstep). Anyway, if you're not a PETA member of someone falling off the couch while headed to the phone to call your congressman to complain about whatever, this one actually looks as if it'll be a lot of fun. Yeah, it's looking like a more modern version of Nintendo's classic Duck Hunt, but hey... if it worked back then, it'll work just as well now.

Of course, this is from a lifelong Noo Yawkuh who's barely set foot in the woods except for a few years of summer camp and a few trips with forest-friendly pals for camping trips too long ago. Anyway, Cover art, press release, game trailer (that music is a hoot!) and some nice screens below.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Oct. 12, 2009) - Mastiff, a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced Remington Great American Bird Hunt for Wii™, the latest in its popular series of outdoor action games.
