FC3 is essentially FC2 redefined and certainly revamped. Let me explain. In FC2, there were these vast terrains that were void of any animals, save for some random zebra once in a while (at least that is the only animal I recall seeing in FC2).

Blood Dragon thrives on '80s nostalgia. It's bursting with pop-culture references, the neon-drenched visuals haven't been seen in a major production for more than 20 years and the story is brimming with hilarity.

+ Crazy supercharged fun; + Packed with '80s references; + Awesome soundtrack & retro cutsenes; + Michael Biehn

- Environments do get bland after a while; - Some jokes a little too crude; - The tutorial sucks trying to be funny

, and this game to internal studios. But the results have been impressive and while the last game moved to a rather drab African savannah setting,

It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining, there's a cool breeze in the air, filled with the sound of the ocean lapping upon the coast. There is no time to enjoy the weather, though; I've got an island to retake.

I have already played Far Cry 3 for many hours, but have barely progressed the main story. This is because the game doesn't force you into anything. You can do side-quests, tasks on noticeboards, or even just explore the island and its stunning visuals.

I must confess to being a Ubisoft Montreal fanboy, smacking my lips in anticipation of Far Cry 3's sandbox world for close to a year. I had similar feelings prior to the release of Far Cry 2, going fanboy-batshit over videos of dynamic fire, procedural sky and other words that translate to...

Fantastic, Detailed open world that begs exploration; Supremely satisfying gunplay; Best looking game on PC by a distance; Memorable characters; Side quests never get old

Story isn't particularly strong; Voice acting for generic NPCs is woeful; Underwhelming multiplayer

Ubisoft went against its own ‘super-corporation' principles by taking the plunge to release something that started as an inside joke amongst Ubisoft Montreal studio programmers. The ‘suits' at Ubisoft were probably going ‘Hey, this game's got that indy feel to it, why not capitalize on that?

I've never been a big fan of FPS but this game got me hooked because of its storyline still keeping the open world fun intact. Apart from humans , how often do you get killed by Crocodiles,sharks,Tigers and comodo dragon? It's that much of a crazy game. A must buy.

Age Rating: 18+ Other console/handheld formats: Xbox 360 Even though it plays very much like a Far Cry game, it's odd that Ubisoft decided to go with the Far Cry 3 title for this spin-off game, as Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon really couldn't be any further away from the themes found in the third game in...

It's a shame that there are factors such as a weak lead character and a painfully short story because Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is almost everything it promised it would be leading up to release.
