One of my favorite shows on TV right now has got to be The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. The show is currently in its fourth season and is full of excitement. It is a very exciting documentary-style reality show which features crews that fish for crab in the Bering Sea and battle the elements of Mother Nature. These fishing crews risk their lives on an almost daily basis just to complete their jobs. So when the game came out on XBOX 360 I had to check it out.

Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm puts you in the captain’s chair in charge of a crew that you get to select at the beginning of the game. You must pick your crew wisely in order to get the job done of bringing back as much crabs as possible to offload at the port. All of this precious cargo must be kept alive so you have to constantly juggle between getting enough fishing time in to getting back to port and transporting the crab there alive and well. The more crabs that you and you crew can safely get back to each port alive, the more money you all make.

The game has some fantastic graphics in it and keeps you very intrigued the whole time. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that you can’t get in on the fun down on the boat deck and get your hands dirty. Hopefully a sequel comes out that allows these aspects of the game, but other than that I recommend it to any hardcore Deadliest Catch fans out there.
