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…

If Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the encapsulation of c-grade 1980's sci-fi and action figures, this mock trailer for a Blood Dragon movie is the encapsulation of Blood Dragon.

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, it also features our favorite pizza-lovin' turtles.

There is joy in stupidity.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon may be a violent, gleefully-stupid video game, but it also has a Serious Message about violent video games.

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, and shows off a trick that wasn't present in Far Cry 3: The ability to call in a massive land-dragon to fight your enemies. Nifty.

If for some stupid reason Terminator star Michael Biehn wasn't already your favorite action hero from the 80s, he will be once you see him as Mark IV Cyber Commando Sergeant Rex Power Colt in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. This might just be his greatest role. The trailer, not the game itself.

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.
