Experience the terror of Duck Hunt: The Movie

By Rick Marshall Published October 25, 2011

You know, when you think about it, that dog in Duck Hunt was a jerk. Always running away with the ducks, he was — and laughing, always laughing.

Still, we never realized how evil he truly was until we saw the opening entry in G4 Films’ Epictober Film Festival: The Hunt.

A dark, bloody take on the classic Nintendo light-gun shooter, The Hunt follows two hunters whose quest for game brings them face to face with a savage beast bent on slaughter. You can watch the 10-minute film below to get in the Halloween spirit (note: this video features some gory effects and at least one obscenity that definitely wasn’t in Duck Hunt):

The Hunt is directed by Sam Balcomb, and kicks off G4’s three-film series that continues tomorrow with director Drew Daywalt’s Kart Driver (guess which game that film is based on!) and concludes with Gregg Bishop’s The Birds of Anger.

No joke, we’d love to see an entry in the festival based on Donkey Kong. Just imagine the possibilities!

How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.
How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

You have the ability to stealth kill right off the bat, though it is not something the game will ever explain or tell you. It works how you would think, but is tricky enough to pull off that you might not think it's possible even if you try the right thing.

Game spending is up — and you can thank Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Most of us knew that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be one of the biggest games of the year, but it's so big that it's doing a lot to boost games sales across the U.S.

This information comes from Circana (formerly NPD Group), which publishes a monthly report on U.S. video game spending. According to analyst Mat Piscatella, spending on hardware, software, and accessories was up 10% in October compared to the same time last year, and the spike was "primarily" driven by the release of Black Ops 6. Non-mobile video game subscription service spending was also up by 16%.
