As its release date nears, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon continues down the path of hype with a brand new, live action video sequence. The work has been done up by Corridor Digital, makers of awesome YouTube videos for quite some time. It looks like…

Just a bit of warning before you fullscreen the clip and turn your speakers all the way up: there’s a bit of profanity in the trailer above. Perhaps watching it with headphones on or in a place that won’t care is the best move. Far Cry…

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon was initially debuted by Ubisoft with the video you see above. Unfortunately, they chose to launch that video on April 1st, so that lead a lot of gamers to assume that it was nothing more than a prank. Well, joke’s…

I was only a few hours into Far Cry 3, a few radio towers and enemy bases conquered, when I approached my first tiger. She was strolling through the Rook Islands jungle, untroubled by the herd of Tapirs grazing nearby. More importantly, she was oblivious…

Ah, welcome to the lush, picturesque and relaxing jungle that is Far Cry 3. The first stop on our tour today is a hang glider flight. We’ll follow that up with some silly pirates, a bear attack and the vicious spread of jungle ravaging fire.…

Warning: If you’re at your desk at work or in a place that might not take kindly to killing and strong language, we suggest you save this trailer for later viewing. No, it’s not that bad, but we know we’d rather have the warning beforehand than…

The video above consists of more than five minutes worth of gameplay from Far Cry 3. It’s not a straight sequence, so expect several jump-cuts between moments of action and inaction as the clip wears on. I counted myself among the crowd that genuinely enjoyed Far Cry…

Far Cry 2 was enormous. Ubisoft‘s jungle shooter spanned a massive, dense and varied landscape that took what seemed like forever to traverse from corner to corner on foot. While that size and scale is definitely a bragging right for the title, the absence of…
