One of my favorite games of all time that came out during the seventh generation of gaming has been added to the backwards compatibility list for the Xbox One. I'm talking about the one and only...Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Far Cry 3 Games
Vivendi Universal may have slipped out of the gaming market when Activision-Blizzard took their market shares and went home, but it doesn't mean Vivendi wants to stay gone. In fact, they've been targeting Ubisoft in the past couple of years and the French company is trying desperately to stop the takeover. 
No matter how tame a game may be, it seems there's always a country somewhere in the world that is going to take offense to it in some way. These seven games were all banned in different parts of the world for some very unique and uncanny reasons. And yes, one of the reasons does include an anal probe. 
Z-Day, in spite of its title, is not trying to copy DayZ. This Far Cry 3 mod has plenty of zombies in it but it's not another multiplayer survival game.

One of the most exciting games coming out isn't even a real big budget game, it's a total conversion standalone expansion pack based on Far Cry 3 and it's just so freaking cool. Dean Evans and the crew at Ubisoft have worked their butts off on a passion project called Blood Dragon and they unleashed a new gameplay walkthrough video that is just ripe with all kinds of awesome.
The music, my goodness...the music! Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon's dialogue seems to be hit or miss but the visual aesthetics and the soundtrack are absolutely spot on. Sounds like something truly out of the 1980s with its overly-patriotic synth chords and blazing “you can do it” style anthems, it's like GI Joe meets meets Tron. 
Ubisoft has released additional screenshots for Far Cry 3's upcoming standalone expansion Blood Dragon. One of the shots gives us our first look at the dragons hinted at in the title.
A quick behind-the-scenes video for the upcoming Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon features the creative director for the total conversion, standalone mod and legendary B-movie actor Michael Beihn, second-hand star in movies like Terminator and Aliens.
Hit first-person shooter Far Cry 3 and the 1980’s had a baby and they’ve decided to call the thing Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, an over-the-top, neon-soaked romp torn straight out of classic action films and headed to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Haven't played Far Cry 3 yet? Well, a new mod for Grand Theft Auto IV has found its way into a new trailer machinima that showcases the evolutionary power of the RAGE Engine.

Ubisoft has released a new patch for all versions of Far Cry 3. This new update provides several single-player and multiplayer changes that were requested by fans. 
After PC gamers proved that the computer software industry is not some flailing, digitally anorexic leech usurping development time and resources from the console market just to propagate the magical kingdom of piracy, it became apparent that some publishers who made enemies out of PC gamers made a mistake...like Ubisoft. The company is now sorry and they want to be friends with you. 
Today Ubisoft announced the sales figures for Q3 of their fiscal year. The company had a better-than-expected quarter due to the strong performance of core games like Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3. |
