Kuma Games has been involved in producing first person shooter (FPS) episodic games since 2003. The emphasis of Kuma appears to be blending the episodic gaming experience with other forms of media, in particular television. They have also created a number of machinima movies for their games, further blending different media forms.
Kuma produces three major 'game-isode' programs. DinoHunters features the machinima mentioned above. The storyline is based on time traveling hunters that seek out prehistoric beasts. The machinima--along with some inter-game dialogue--adds a comedic element to the game.
The second game featured is Kuma\War. This game takes information and strategic data from recent military operations and attempts to recreate the war scenario as it happened. This particular element of Kuma has come under much praise and criticism for the role it plays in reproducing recent battles.
The most popular game that Kuma makes is the Shootout! game that is produced in conjunction with The History Channel program of the same name. The episodic games for this title mirror the episodes that air on The History Channel. Some of the battles recreated include Iwo Jima, the Tet Offensive, and the Battle of the Bulge.
