Bless Gameloft, with its fluffy-wuffy animal games where you get to take care of dogs, stroke cats, and even learn to ride horses. What a lovely animal-loving company they are, eh?

But now the mask has slipped.

Big Range Hunting has eight types of animals in it, including lions, deer, ducks and bears. But you don't pet them. Oh no. You blast them in the heads with high-powered rifles. If Heather Mills McCartney isn't picketing Gameloft's Paris HQ already, she soon will be. Tsk!

Okay, so it's fair to say that Big Range Hunting is probably aimed more at the US market more than us lily-livered Brits (although if they included foxes, we bet there'd be an audience among tweed-wearing aristocrats over here).

The game comprises 16 challenges spread across three locations: the US, Canada and Africa. Weapons include a scope rifle, a crossbow and an air rifle, and you can choose between a Challenge mode and a Free Hunt mode. You even get your own hunting dog.

PETA wouldn't approve, but if you fancy some wildlife-blasting action, Big Range Hunting will be out soon.
