The guy who voiced Adam Jensen—the hero of 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution—says he worked for two years as the voice of Jason Brody, the hero of 2012's Far Cry 3, and lost that role because the two characters sounded too much the same. Man, I hope no one tells Nolan North about this.
These days, guns and action games go together like spoons and Nutella. And yet when it comes right down to it, there is a video game weapon that outclasses the gun in most every respect: The bow and arrow.
Surprising absolutely no one, on Friday Ubisoft's Tony Key told Gamespot that the successful, critically acclaimed
Hey Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon fans! Ubisoft has patched the game with the ability to reset conquered garrisons, so the spinning laser blade fun never has to end. Ever. Amen.
There weren't any official Blood Dragon action figures. Shame. Ah well. At least there's this unofficial one, of the game's star Rex Colt, which is probably better than anything we'd have officially got anyways.
Herve Groussin is a senior concept artist at Eidos Montreal, the developers behind Deus Ex and the upcoming Thief reboot.
The first thing that immediately stood out to me when I initially previewed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon wasn't the neon, it wasn't the hark back to the ridiculousness of the 80's, it wasn't even the blood dragons themselves. That's because I didn't get to see much of any of that before being hit with a gay, possibly…
Martin Kevan, who played the crazy Dr. Earnhardt in Far Cry 3, passed away on May 1 following a brief battle with cancer.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon not only has strong words about violent video games,
There is joy in stupidity.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon may be a violent, gleefully-stupid video game
I’d been hearing about Manborg—the no-budget homage to 1980s VHS action movies—for a while now. But I only realized that it was out on DVD today after I saw this tweet from Irrational Games writer Joe Fielder:
Ubisoft has shared another chunk of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon gameplay, this time narrated by the game's creative director Dean Evans. This gives a sense of Blood Dragon's willful stupidity
What might be the best standalone game expansion ever created just got the greatest live-action movie tie-in, even if it is under five minutes long.
Before the press could sit down and play Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Dean Evans, creative director on the project, wanted to make one thing clear: the script is terrible, the characters are one dimensional, and make no mistake, "the game is stupid." He said this proudly; the approach was a bullet point.
IGN's got a video of the first fifteen minutes of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. It looks very goofy, decidedly retro, and like a lot of fun.

If the last part of that headline didn't make you happy deep inside, then this post - and this game - is not for you.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, ie the worst-kept secret this week in video games
This Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon thing simply will not quit. Yes, I know today is April Fools' Day, but god damn, whatever this is—a film, a game extension, a fantastic hoax—Ubisoft did get it rated by the freaking Australian Classification Board
Above is apparently the "box art" for Blood Dragon, an upcoming (and seemingly downloadable) expansion for Far Cry 3. Take a good look at it.
Ubisoft just submitted something called "Far Cry Classic" to the Korean game rating board. What could it mean?! [GRB Thanks Sang!]
This combination of mods for Grand Theft Auto IV makes the game look more or less like last December's Far Cry 3, and this machinima shared by RyderPL completes, or at least continues, the illusion.
If you've been playing big-budget action video games over the last couple of years, you've probably noticed a few trends. The graphics have gotten better. The animations have become more lifelike. The explosions have gotten more explosive.
How would this joke go?
Far Cry 3's latest patch, which takes a cue from modders
