Monster Hunter Freedom

Features
By published

The call of the wild pulls us into this primitive-themed RPG

Multiplayer hunts - an integral part of the PS2 version - will be present as well (if somewhat de-emphasized), and you'll be able to hook up with up to three teammates via an ad hoc connection. There's also a Treasure Hunters mode, which tasks two players with tracking down certain items to unlock special prizes.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
