While real-life hunting is a constant source of debate amongst conservationists and enthusiasts, Wild America lets you enjoy the tension and excitement of this pastime without the moral quandaries. And even if you're just taking in the landscape, the breathtaking visuals make this a great way to destress.

The increased prevalence of the try-before-you-buy model is likely reminding longtime readers of the old lite style of mobile release. But if it allows you to find out if something works for you, I say that it's a good thing to dip your toes in before taking the plunge!

And if Way of the Hunter: Wild America gives you an itchy trigger finger, there are plenty of ways to scratch it on mobile. Why not dig into our list of the best shooters on iOS and Android, for example?
