WolfQuest
WolfQuest is an immersive 3D wildlife simulation game. Players start alone as a young wolf looking for a mate, or form a pack with friends online. Through trial and error, instinct, and experience, they learn hunt and survive. Although wolves are commonly thought of as highly efficient predators, it takes a lot of work to feed yourself. And even though wolves are very attached to their families, they can be ruthless toward wolves not in their pack.
These are the lessons learned in WolfQuest, which features elk, grizzly bears and coyotes, all inhabiting a detailed and accurate landscape in Yellowstone National Park.
The game combines exciting third-person gameplay and accurate science about wolf behavior and ecology. This is a learning game, but it's not a "serious game." Instead, it is seriously fun.
Built using Unity 3D, the Mac OSX-based game development IDE that "Just Works."

Bottom Line: Wolfquest has great potential but is missing attributes to hold the gamers attention for long. I went to the website and looked over some of the info of this game. The screen shots looked amazing and the video "though a little cheesy" had portrayed the game to be a fun learning experiance. I downloaded it, which was very fast and simple, and began playing. The first thing I noticed was the enormous amount of dibilitating bugs and Glitches. Examples: Severe Lag, Non Stop Running, Only Being Able To Walk Around In Cirles, Not Being Able To Move At All, the list goes on. Some pros are the fact that new "episodes" will come out which will offer new game play, it's an MMO, and updates are made frequently in order to fix any bugs that plague the gamers. The most recent update seems to be bug free. However, gameplay is boring and repetitive. You can only do two things really: hunt elk and talk to other wolves.. All n' all it has potenial.
