Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon open-world video

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has lasers, cyborgs, gratuitous expletives courtesy Michael Biehn, and a full campaign independent of the original game. Fine, fine. But what does all this '80s hangover stuff mean for the best part of Far Cry 3: mucking about in the jungle with a backpack full of explosives?

These eight minutes of open-world gameplay with Creative Director Dean Evans answer that question thusly: fickle flightless dragons with laser breath. Also swears, so watch out for that at work.


If you're not excited about the $15 download coming to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 after that video, you probably have no appreciation for G.I. Joe cartoon battles looped together snuff-film style to a soundtrack of angry grunting, either. What's the matter with you?!

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
