Video games have moved from a sedentary pastime to an off-the-couch experience.  In doing so, entire families have a new-found willingness to give the games a chance.

The latest such game is Rapala Fishing Frenzy, allowing amateur anglers and sport fishing enthusiasts to dip their hook into the virtual lake.

“Rapala is the gold standard when it comes to quality sport fishing games, and Fishing Frenzy is the natural progression for the franchise,” said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. “Fun Labs has refined the controls for fishing enthusiasts while making the game easy to learn and action-packed for amateur anglers.”

Thanks to authentic gear (Rapala is a fishing lure manufacturer) you can jig the bait and reel in fish in 20 tournament events. – all without getting seasick.

The game will be released this summer for the Wii and PS3.

Freshwater never looked so clear thanks to Activision.
