Today's Amazon Gold Box deal is a copy of Far Cry 4 on the platform of your choice for just $30. The price is only valid today, but I wouldn't be surprised if some versions sell out early. There's not a whole lot else to say here, except that you should play it if you haven't already. [Far Cry 4, $30]

Far Cry 4's post-release stuff kicked off this week with Escape From Durgesh Prison, a new timed challenge mode that's now available for purchase either individually or as part of the game's season pass. Sadly, it doesn't get things off to a great start.

Far Cry 4 got its first bit of DLC today, "Escape from Durgesh Prison." It's a timed challenge mode that can be played alone or in co-op (the best way to play Far Cry 4, if you ask me). It also features permadeath, which sounds intriguing. The DLC is available for $10, or as part of the season pass, which is $30.

Far Cry 4 for the Xbox One disappeared from the Xbox Marketplace for a little while earlier this week, preventing some from playing a game they own. The problem was eventually solved, but the whole thing's left me pretty confused. What exactly happened...and why? Unfortunately, Microsoft's brief statement on the issue…

A game's narrative isn't merely its script or its visuals — mechanics play a huge part in what kind of story is being told. Nowhere is that more apparent than when you contrast Far Cry 2 with the games that came after.

The rocky starting area, the guards patrolling around the fence, the towers and the tents, so basically almost the entire map of Ground Zeroes now has a Far Cry 4 version, thanks to modder Robert Cram.

Ok, so this video by YouTuber Frank Zappa racing through De Pleur's fortress in Far Cry 4 and stealth-killing baddies like a boss was obviously rehearsed. But man, those long-distance knife throws! It's also fun to imagine that it's actually Frank Zappa ninja-running Far Cry rather than Ajay Ghale.
